Makes you proud
A mandatory thorough check in at the base visitor center was an eye opener. Many artillery weapons on display along with tributes to the soldiers who paid the ultimate price. Very touching. 3 museums and an Indian graveyard with Geronimo's grave.

Very nice!
The only bad thing about our visit was not allowing enough time to see it all. The historic area's interpretive center is a bit hard to find as you approach it from the back but it is the long building on the south side of the quad. Definitely stop here for the film, map, and overview of the site. My kids were disappointed the gift shop was not open even though we were there during scheduled hours. Do not miss the Guardhouse. Kids will enjoy the cells on the lower floor. Other reviews refer to Geronimo's cell which is a little inaccurate. While he was a prisoner, he lived a normal life as a farmer and only overnighted at the guardhouse when he was drunk. Also it is worth the drive to the Apache cemetery and Geronimo's grave which is not immediately adjacent to the historical area. There are other buildings open to view, we just did not have the time.
