Fort Davis - Fort Davis (TX)

5 /5 Don Davidson: Fort Davis National Historical Site in Fort Davis, Texas, preserves the history of a 19th century U.S. Cavalry fort. Some buildings have been reconstructed and furnished, including an enlisted barracks, the Commanding Officers residence, a hospital, and the commissary. Original buildings are little more than foundations, but provide a feel for the forts dimensions. They also have a 14-minute film discussing the forts history, as well as many informative displays. The staff is very knowledgeable.

5 /5 Hannalore Mueller: The visit to this location was very educational and fascinating. It’s definitely a “walking required” experience, so I recommend being prepared for the walk and heat if you go in the summer. The museum is quaint but thorough, and the rebuilds are great.

5 /5 Randy Estrada: This place is so awesome with plenty of furnishings from back when the fort was actually inhabited by soldiers in the late 1860s with plenty of information about what life was like in those times from rationing food to medical treatment. It looks like theyre actively trying to restore many of the buildings while still retaining their original weathering in some parts to show the state that the buildings were in prior to restoration. Beautiful little piece of history to enjoy.

5 /5 Kelly Davis: Very interesting!! They have games for the kids, lots of interesting artifacts that are all Set up in buildings. There’s a map that tells you where to go and sometimes they have demonstrations such as a lady was baking cookies in the kitchen and they also had “soldiers” firing off guns. If you have a child, there’s an opportunity for them to do a scavenger hunt to earn a ranger badge! Awesome time!

5 /5 Sherri Priest: Interesting. Lots of history and a nature trail that will take up into the mountains with lots of info on plants and desert. Only a little over 1 mile loop but was two miles from the parking lot. America the beautiful pass will get you in free. Worth the visit but a pretty good walk to see all the signs.
