Enlisted Men’s Barracks

The south end of this restored barracks houses cavalry, infantry, artillery, and transportation exhibits. The north end contains a squad room and orderly room and is furnished to offer a glimpse into the summer of 1884 when it was occupied by Buffalo Soldiers of Troop H, Tenth Cavalry. Iron bunks, footlockers, carbine racks, clothing and accoutrements in the squad room help to tell the story of the men who served here. The orderly room served as the office for the troop’s first sergeant.
