Ghost of Christmas Past
Sat, December 12, 2026
Stroll through the fort and observe the “ghosts” of cavalry soldiers and their families as they celebrate Christmas inside the historic commanding officer's house from the 1870s.
You’ll glimpse scenes of holiday gatherings long ago, echoes of laughter, candlelight, and the lingering presence of those who once lived here. This unique experience blends history, holiday tradition, and a touch of the supernatural.
