More Info

General Info: Standing atop a remote windswept hill, the weathered remains of an old western fort beckon curious visitors to the site General Sherman once described as the prettiest post in Texas. Established in 1852, Fort McKavett housed various infantry and cavalry units, including companies from the four regiments of Buffalo Soldiers. Today, the 19 surviving structures exemplify one of the best and most intact Texas Indian Wars posts. Walk the parade grounds that once echoed with barked commands and bugle calls, while viewing spectacular Hill Country vistas.Standing atop a remote windswept hill, the weathered remains of an old western fort beckon curious visitors to the site General Sherman once described as the prettiest post in Texas.
