Nostalgia Lane

The house was indeed the big perk of the job for an officer while stationed at Fort Hancock. For many visitors History House is a trip down memory lane. The decor is a reminder of what may have been on display in your grandmother's house. For later generations, it is an opportunity to travel back in time and experience life during the 1940's.
