    Camp Verde AZ (June 26, 2015) – As part of the Town of Camp Verde’s “Corn Fest” celebration on Saturday, July 18, 2015, watch a baseball game with players dressed in historic uniforms, or come and be part of the team. Game time begins at Noon.

    Experience life through the eyes of a frontier soldier at Fort Verde State Historic Park. The Fort was a base for General Crook’s U.S. Army scouts and soldiers in the 1870’s and 1880’s. From 1865 – 1891 Camp Lincoln, Camp Verde and Fort Verde were home to officers, doctors, families, enlisted men, and scouts. The park is the best-preserved example of an Indian Wars period fort in Arizona. Several of the original buildings still stand and living history programs are scheduled periodically, giving visitors a glimpse into Arizona’s history.
