 Fort McKavett State Historic Site
Fort McKavett State Historic Site is one of the best-preserved examples of a Texas Indian Wars military post (1850-1875). Throughout the year, the site hosts living-history events to demonstrate daily life on the 19th-century frontier. In the post-Civil War army, regiments were segregated. Members of all four Buffalo Soldier regiments served at Fort McKavett. One of these men was Sgt. Emanuel Stance, 9th Cavalry, who was the first African American soldier to receive the Medal of Honor after the Civil War. Journey through the African American culture and heritage in Texas by exploring our travel resources.
