Texas Forts Trail

The Forts Trail Region was once the wild frontier where soldiers built garrisons linking wild country and unsettled lands, while protective Native Americans defended their traditional hunting grounds. Come hear the stories and explore the places where history was made—and make your own memories! Visit a historic site, tour a museum, or check out the local sites, shops, and eateries. The trail highlights a Spanish presidio and eight historic frontier forts and the communities and attractions that surround them. Take the trail or explore the region!
