After years of passing by the signs along I-25, I decided to take a Sunday drive with a good friend to visit Fort Union National Monument. The fort was established in 1851, 3 years after the Mexican American War and grew to become the largest military fort in the Southwest.
The fort is located at the junction of the Northern Mountain Branch and shorter Southern Cimarron Cutoff of the Santa Fe Trail. The Fort was an important part of American, Hispanic and Indian history. Now it’s a great place for photographers and history buffs like me! Check out the link above for more.
