  • Wanna learn more about West Texas great historical marker and great history
  • It is extremely thorough and really does a great job of speaking to the time period with a current lense, for instance re Native Americans
  • What a wonderful way to spend a day. The tour was the outstanding.
  • History is still being made here. Talk to the actual people who rebuilt parts of the fort. They tell you how it was done. Buy the book and visit with the author. Want to know about the history of the ranch, they're still here. Excellent museum !!!
  • Can't wait too visit this Fort. I was in the US Army for 24 years
