HONORING OUR VETERANS THIS VETERANS DAY!

In observance of Veterans Day, the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area administrative office will be closed on Wednesday, November 11.

However, both the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park and Colorado River State Historic Park will remain OPEN to welcome visitors!

Did you know that Colorado River State Historic Park was once the site of the historic Yuma Quartermaster Depot? Established in 1864, the depot played an important role in supplying U.S. Army forts throughout the Southwest. Today, visitors can explore this piece of Yuma's military history and learn about the important role the depot played in the region.

This Veterans Day, we invite you to visit our parks, explore the history, and join us in honoring the brave men and women who have served our country.

To all veterans, thank you for your service and sacrifice! 🇺🇸
