Fort Davis has a lot of the buildings intact or restored. It is situated in a box canyon with the San Antonio trail from Mexico, a major early trade route, right in front of the fort that was designed to protect travelers on the trail. It served in two stages one pre-Civil War in a more rough, hastily built fort and post Civil War with much more permanent buildings. It including a chapel, barracks, large hospital, horse barns and facilities, officers quarters, commissary and lots more. After the war it was staffed mostly by the Buffalo Soldiers until is closed in 1882. The park is right in the town of Fort Davis across from the new (only) grocery.
