Complete information for planning your trip to Pecos National Historical Park is now on National Park Planner.
Pecos National Historical Park in Pecos, New Mexico, preserves multiple archeological sites of historical significance around Pecos and Glorieta Pass. Encompassing an area of almost 6,700 acres, the park includes the ruins of the Pecos Pueblo and an 18th-century Spanish Mission Church, the Glorieta Pass Battlefield of the American Civil War, and the Forked Lightning Ranch, which was once owned by Hollywood movie star Greer Garson. When established by Congress and signed into law on June 28, 1965, by Lyndon B. Johnson, the park was called Pecos National Monument. It was redesignated Pecos National Historical Park in 1990 when the battlefield and the ranch were acquired.
