Gorgeous scenery, fantastic historical preserve. Be sure to hike the trail to the San Sabo headstrong and first mill sites. Rugged rocky terrain following river bed up, but there is a less rugged trail marked.
Extensive historical structures in tact. Staff was very knowledgeable regarding frontier fort history. My only complaint was the museum was being remodeled and I couldn't go into some of the furnished structures when I was there.
Terrific site of important American history. The remodeled gift shop is likely to be very good once completed. History buff, rejoice!
Be sure to check their event calendar to try and time when the site will be doing time era performances. A great fort to visit. Chocked full of information on how life unfolded 100+ years ago. When you visit any of the forts in Texas be sure to ask why the forts were placed at their locations. The soldiers back then were certainly experts in finding the landscape that gave the best advantage to them.
Self tours. Neat!
Awesome site with a ton of original structures. Good living history programs.
