Chiricahua Regional Museum

IMG_5632

   Both Geronimo and Cochise, as leaders of their tribal groups, were central figures in the early conflicts between the Apaches and Spanish settlers and later between the Apaches and the Anglo ranchers. Most of the fighting ended when Geronimo surrendered in 1886.

    Half of the museum, which is housed in a small storefront building, is dedicated to the Apaches. The other half has exhibits and artifacts about the history of the forts, ranches and farms in the area.
