Title
English: Fort Union National Monument
Description
English:

The ruins of an adobe fort in a desert landscape under a bright blue large sky. Wagons and wagon wheels are spread around the landscape.

Fort Union National Monument is located in New Mexico and was added to the Network in 2024. The fort was operating from 1851-1891. It played host to several companies of Buffalo Soldiers for five years. Troops and supplies from the fort were instrumental in the forced migration of indigenous peoples onto reservations. Slaves were present at the fort in the pre-Civil era when officers brought their household servants with them. The presence of the fort and the nearby Santa Fe Trail promoted the settlement of a diverse range of ethnicities in northern New Mexico in the post-Civil War years.
