“The best surviving example of an Indian Wars' military post”
Fort Davis is one of the best surviving examples of an Indian Wars' frontier military post in the Southwest. From 1854 to 1891, Fort Davis was strategically located to protect emigrants, mail coaches, and freight wagons on the Trans-Pecos portion of the San Antonio-El Paso Road and on the Chihuahua Trail.
Well worth the visit. So much history. January weather is perfect.
We really enjoyed this fascinating historical site. It’s informative and well maintained...even the restrooms! The hiking trail is well worth the visit as well.
