Ruins at Fort Selden Historic Site undergoing ‘major preservation work'

DOÑA ANA COUNTY, N.M. (KRQE) – The remnants of a hospital structure at the Fort Selden Historic Site in Radium Springs are undergoing 'major preservation work.' The land dates back as early as 400 A.D. and was first inhabited by Native American farmers called Mogollon. Fort Selden was established in April 1865 to bring peace to the region and was abandoned in 1891 as hostilities lessened and the needs of the military changed.

Albuquerque Pride Parade New Mexico Strange: Holy dirt and healing water: A look at NM's miraculous locations Today, ruins from the fort still remain and have undergone preservation to protect them. 'We are working on room seven of the hospital structure. So it is the room that is closest to the company barracks, but it is still part of the hospital. We have restored it back to about six to seven feet in height with the wooden pieces replaced. We did not alter any of the original adobe. We just built around it to protect it,' said Emily Wilson, historic sites regional manager for Fort Selden Historic Site and Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site. Wilson said the elements have taken a toll on many of the adobe structures at the site, and preservation work on different buildings has taken place over the course of the years. 'We wanted to start with one of the [hospital] rooms, see how it turned out, and then we are definitely looking to continue that. The next bit of preservation work that you can expect to see us doing out on the site is we're going to be re-backfilling the corrals,' Wilson explained. In addition to preservation, Wilson said the historic site is always looking for ways to improve the visitor experience. 'We're always trying to update and better the language we're using, expanding the exhibit. Like I was saying earlier, you know, we're really putting a strong effort into making sure that we are including all of the stories that are relevant to our site, not just the military history,' she said. The Fort Selden Historic Site is open to visitors Wednesday-Sunday, 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. The cost to enter is $5 for adults. Children 16 years and younger, NM disabled veterans, NM foster families, and Museum of New Mexico Foundation members are free. Click here for more info. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
