This is a partially restored frontier fort from the latter half of the 19th century. Kids will love it and with a little imagination you can see John Wayne and the 7th Cavalry riding out. Some of the buildings have period furnishing and there are at least two excellent museums.

On our drive from Big Bend to Guadalupe National Park we stopped to stretch our legs at Fort Davis. Several buildings have been fully restored by the Park Service, others are just the foundations. The Fort is a fascinating part of our western history. The post hospital was the most interesting to me. The building is nearly complete and houses... More

We spent a little over an hour checking out the ruins, restored buildings, and exhibits at this historic site. There is tons of information available to visitors and the grounds are well-kept. It is worth the $3 entrance fee and is overall a great experience.

Beautiful grounds and huge ancient Cottonwood Trees as you step back in time. Amazing to step on the same ground as those past. Truly puts you in the front seat on what a rough life it was for those brave soldiers. Enjoyable viewing.

The site is well done and an easy walk to see the restored structures and learn about life at a military post in the mid to late 1800's. I was surprised at how nice the living structures were for the officers. The information signs at each restored building are easy to read and understand. The site requires a lot of... More

Fort Davis was not on our agenda, but we're sure glad we made the stop. We spent about 3 hours walking around the grounds and exploring the hillsides around the Fort. The renovations of the houses and particularly the Hospital were very well done. There's a lot of history there, and they've done a great job with their displays and... More

as with most ruins, there is a lot left to the imagination. the reconstructed buildings give you a real life look. several of the buildings have been restored. the others are just the foundation blocks which give you no indication what the building contained. it is worth seeing, if you want a bit of history.

Amazing to think how the fort was established in this vast desolate area. The fort has recently been through some renovations. Very clean, full of information, staff is very helpful and very cool place to visit.
