Outstanding place! I was planning to stop by for an hour and ended up spending 4hrs! One of the greatest short somewhat intense hikes I had (around 2 miles). Astounding views from the trail, I highly recommend going on it! The fort is nicely reconnected (partially-work on progress), they even have loud speakers playing military drill sounds periodically! It makes you feel very emerged! If you are in the area it's a must to stop by!

So much history and beauty at this location. We ventured from Marfa, Texas to visit and were really blown away at the experience. I highly suggest going into the visitor center and watching the film. It was a suprise to see none other than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar narrating the entire history of Fort Davis in a cowboy hat 😂 it was very interesting hearing him talk about the history. Then go wonder a bit and then sit down and stop for a minute… just look around at the buildings still standing and overall land… no doubt this will lead you to imagine what it was like back then. Next, take a hike to the top of the ridge or back toward the dried up meandering river in the left side of the property and enjoy your day👍🏻

Neat place! Highly recommend going in the visitor center & checking out the museum. They also have a 15 minute video that explains the history. It is a big area to walk, which can get HOT because there is little shade, so planning the time to go is wise. They have one golf cart for use if available to those who need it. There is also a trail you can check out, but we didn't go, because silly me wore flip flops. I didn't realize they had trails here too.

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 they're 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.

This place is definitely a must see if you are in the area. The grounds and buildings have been extremely well preserved. There are several buildings you can walk through that have been kept well maintained and with their period and original furnishings. The hospital is definitely not to be missed. It's the big building in the back. At first I thought it wasn't part of the park/open, but it is and probably one of the most well kept buildings. It was a bit eerie though and I did get chills walking through it. I would plan a couple hours for this visit altogether.

Nice visitors center/history museum exhibit. Many buildings at this National Historic site that dates back to 1854-1891 have been refurbished. Nice walking, self-guided tour. Close to City of Fort Davis, Texas and McDonald Observatory.

Went to Fort Davis and were impressed with how well it is maintained and sooo much Info. We will go back. This area of Texas is impressive. What the soldiers had to put up with was punishing.

A 2 hour stop at Fort Davis after a visit to Big Bend National Park was like a brief time travel back to 1867. The entrance of the Post Hospital provides a good view of the entire site of Fort David.
