Fort Davis is a classic, you expect to see John Wayne ride out of the rocks any minute.
Best example of a frontier fort. Much of it is restored, more is restored each year. They frequently have living history exhibitions; last year we walked into the enlisted barracks and a Buffalo Soldier was there to tell us about his life in the Army.
Davis Mountains SP is just outside town, which makes a nice place to stay to see the fort. It is the rare state park with full hookups, and even a hotel/restaurant (Indian Lodge) built by the CCC to resemble adobe dwellings.
