This place is fantastic. Free, except if you want to contribute, great history, and a beautiful piece of land
Wonderful place to visit when they have a living historian presentation. They were there the entire day with temps in the 40s. Dedicated and knowledgeable folks who truly care about educating and helping the public experience local history. If you attend an event they accept donations so please contribute.
Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly in the visitor center! Informational plaques along the trail and 3 buildings set up with time period artifacts. Worth the visit into this little piece of history!
The front desk people were super informative and friendly, kept us cool in that place.
A little tidbit of history which keeps you wanting more. I wish there was more to see and admire.
Great place for a nice walk while learning about history. Truly enjoyed this visit!
Historically cool, but not much to see or do
Interesting....Im glad I went...educational
Very impressed with the fort. There were people dressed in period costumes that were very informative. They even shot off cannons! There were a number of buildings still standing to tour. It was a great spot to visit if you enjoy learning about our history
Really beautiful, volunteers are very informative
Very interesting and free.
Great tour, knowledgeable guides,great history.
Loved the hardy construction of the last standing original building. This place made it easy to imagine the daily hardship of the frontier days. Wonderfully helpful volunteers and staff. Very knowledgeable about the site and local history.
Nicely kept place and cool history. Great volunteers staff!
Very cool that you can walk in to the buildings and get a glimpse if their way if life back then
Awesome spot. Dogs welcome. Some of the signage was old, but still legible. Staff in the visitors center were knowledgeable, and very helpful. The buildings still standing are really well maintained.
Right next to the Texas Ranger Heritage Center. Tells the history of the first US fort build in Texas. They are in the process of upgrading the site with more history exhibits. The manager on site told several interesting stories and knew a lot of local history. BTW if you hear the bells ringing at the Texas Ranger Heritage Center at 4:30 it means that they are getting ready to close the gates and you need to get your car out of the parking lot.
Interesting history
The place was closed but we walked around and enjoyed it
