Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park

008
  The depot was establish in 1864 to supply frontier forts in the western territories of what is now Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. A six months supply of ammunition, food and clothing plus the wagons and mules to transport the goods were stored at the depot. Five original builds are still standing. There are a few small exhibits in the buildings and displays of old equipment on the grounds.

  Most of the site is accessible but there are a few slightly high thresholds.

  The parking lots are large enough for RVs.  Depot
