Fort McKavett State Historic Site, Fort McKavett
Saturday, June 3
Have you ever wanted to photograph the night sky, but weren't sure where to go to avoid the light pollution of the city? Fort McKavett State Historic Site [ [link removed] ] is one of the naturally darkest places in Texas, and its night sky is a treasure trove of celestial wonders. The well-preserved historic frontier Army fort provides a beautiful setting with historic buildings and picturesque ruins that provide uncommonly attractive foreground subjects with the wonders of the night sky above. This incredible opportunity is only offered quarterly, once each season of the year. This is for professional and amateur photographers alike. Families are always welcome, too.
