Friends of the Huachuca Mountains: Saving Camp Naco

Built in 1919, Camp Naco is located just a short distance from the border with Mexico in Naco, Arizona.

It replaced a tent camp for soldiers stationed there to protect the crossing during the Mexican Revolution beginning in 1910. It was recently named as one of the 11 Most Endangered Historic Sites in the US which has led to funding for restoration of the camp.  Life-long Cochise County resident and archaeologist Dr. Rebecca Orozco will discuss the past, present, and future of Camp Naco, now owned by the City of Bisbee and currently undergoing restoration.

All are invited to attend our summer program of presentations on the natural and cultural history of the Huachuca Mountains and environs. These presentations are offered free of charge at the Carr House.

  • Audience: Adult, Teen, Youth
  • Genre: Arts, Culture & Social Science, Conservation and Sustainability, Field Sciences
