ONLINE GIVING APRIL 20TH THRU MAY 20TH - IN PERSON GIVING AT FORT BAYARD SATURDAY MAY 4TH 

BETWEEN 10 AM AND 2 PM

Good Evening Friends and Members of FBHPS,

Members of the Fort Bayard Historic Preservation Society believe our mission of collecting, preserving and interpreting Historic Fort Bayard's story helps the local residents understand the importance of the fort's history from its military existence to becoming the largest TB facility in the country to a hospital/treatment center.  We contribute to cross-cultural understanding among our diverse population, especially by growing our educational and exhibit programs.  Museum improvements are essential to creating an environment where learning experiences can flourish.  We aim to start with educating our young.

Hello! It's that time of year again! Give Grandly is right around the corner and this year The Commons is participating both online and in-person. We hope you consider us when participating in the event, as food insecurity is only on the rise. Make sure to mark your calendars for May 4th and consider donating to help us or any of the other wonderful non-profits in our area. The event will be held from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Main Street Plaza in Silver City.
