Historic Schwertner House

Originally built in 1880 as an Army Officer reception center, this historic home frequently hosted soldiers on their travels between Fort Grant and Fort Bowie. Josef Schwertner and his family purchased it in 1897 and made it into their family home. The Schwertners also ran a saloon-turned-grocery store that is now the Rex Allen Museum. Though Josef passed in 1929, his family continued to live in the home until the 1980's.
