Preservation Status

In 1990, the United States Congress' Civil War Sites Advisory Commission gave the Glorieta Battlefield a preservation priority rating of  I (Class A), the highest possible rating. Priority I sites are those identified as the most important and most threatened Civil War battlefields. The Class A designation was given to sites having a decisive influence on a campaign and a direct impact on the course of the war.

In addition to being part of the Pecos National Historical Park (a unit of the National Park System), Glorieta is on the National Register of Historic Places and the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties, and is a National Historic Landmark.
