DESCRIPTION:
Please join us on Fort Martian Scott School Days! History enthusiasts from all over Texas come together to offer reenacted store, centers, and walk through for students to tour and explore what life on the fort was like. Activities and centers are hands on and offer a lot of one on one interaction with the Fort’s knowledgeable volunteers! Pictures are attached for a glimpse of what to expect!
Nestled along Baron’s Creek at the eastern edge of Fredericksburg next to the Texas Rangers Heritage Center, Fort Martin Scott was the first U.S. military post to be established on the western frontier of Texas. Today it is an historical treasure listed on the National Register of Historic Places.?
??Visitors to this National Historic Site are free to wander about the grounds and reflect upon the importance that this old fort played in the development of the great State of Texas. Once teeming with the activities of soldiers, civilians and teamsters, today it is brought back to life during many of the regularly scheduled living history reenactments and events held at the fort.
****IMPORTANT****
Please pack a lunch, possibly snacks and water bottles, as there were no concession stands or areas to purchase food at this event the last time we visited. Although this event is free we ask that you please sign up so that we can look around for our friends!
