             Fort Huachuca, an army base at the mouth of Huachuca Canyon just west of Sierra Vista, was established in 1877. The buildings of the old post have been declared a National Historic Landmark, and one is now a museum dedicated to the many forts that dotted the Southwest in the latter part of the 19th century. Interesting aspects of the exhibits include quotes by soldiers that give an idea of what it was like to serve back then. The associated U.S. Army Intelligence Museum, at Hungerford and Christy streets, has displays on early code machines, surveillance drones, and other pieces of equipment formerly used for intelligence gathering.
