There is no camping at Ft. McKavett, so this is a day trip, but we planned our route home to include it. And then discovered that it was closed! Oh well, it had the same functions, and many of the same buildings (although different design, age, and upkeep) as Ft. Davis did. And, technically, it's not part of the State Parks system; it's part of the Texas Historical Commission.
Signage about the Fort.
Ruins.
Barracks at the fort.
Nearby adventures: Presidio de San Saba in Menard, which is also a county seat. Menard has a "Ditch Walk" along the irrigation ditches, restaurants, motels, etc. It is the county seat, so has a courthouse with a pool at the end of the lot, as well as a cute depot.
