Explore Fort Stanton like never before—after dark. This special after-hours flashlight tour invites curious guests to venture into the historic fort’s more mysterious corners, including areas typically closed to the public. Hear eerie stories, walk through dimly lit buildings, and experience the site’s atmosphere in a whole new light.

Designed for adults and older teens (16+), the tour involves stairs, uneven terrain, and walking by flashlight. Space is limited to 25 participants, and tickets ($25 per person) go on sale two weeks before the event at nmhistoricsites.org/calendar. Ticketholders must arrive on time and sign a waiver before beginning the tour. Tickets are non-refundable.

Not for the faint of heart—but perfect for history buffs with a brave streak.
