Old Fort Bliss Museum

Fort Bliss, Texas

Children's, General, History, Historic House, Military, Park

In an effort to present a more accurate picture of Fort Bliss at Magoffinsville site, the buildings now house “period rooms” representing life at the post and surrounding area in 1857. The garrison then consisted of several companies of the 8th Infantry and a company Regiment of Mounted Rifles. Daily activities necessary to house, feed, and maintain a military force at a remote frontier outpost are interpreted in the period rooms and work yard. All of the uniforms, tools, and equipment are authentic reproductions (rather than artifacts) to permit their use by trained, costumed interpreters during school programs and special events.
