Today the military post has became the largest Air Defense Training Center in the world. The Fort Bliss Museum is located at a reconstructed site of the original location.
Adobe walls provide warmth in the winter and cool respite from the summer heat.
Inside, displays, photographs, maps, and personal items form the exhibit. Outside, the grounds are landscaped with plants indigenous to the Chihuahuan desert. One block south of the museum is the latest addition to the historic preservation of Fort Bliss. Fort Bliss hosts many annual events such as the Amigo Air Show, Oktoberfest, Showtime, USA and Armed Forces Day.
