Fort Lowell Park

Overview

Fort Lowell Park contains the extant remains of the former Fort Lowell military post. The United States Army established the Post of Tucson in May 1862; they abandoned it in July 1864 but re-established it a year later. In August 1866, the Army renamed the installation Camp Lowell in honor of Gen. Charles Russell Lowell. In March 1873, the Army moved the post to its current location on the outskirts of Tucson, then renamed it Fort Lowell in April 1879. The Army used this location from 1873 until 1891. The park includes several of the post’s former adobe structures and a museum.
