Officers’ Row

After the Civil War ended and the country opened for expansion in the West, the Indian Wars of the 1870s-1880s brought soldiers to Arizona to protect settlers and created challenges for the families who accompanied them. Originally Fort Verde consisted of twenty-two buildings surrounding the parade grounds and extending west to present day Main Street. Along the east side were the Officers’ Quarters, and three of the original five buildings remain from the period 1870-1890, when military families lived there.
