| erch's Full Review: Fort Davis National Historic Site |
I visited Fort Davis in July of 2006. The restored fort is very interesting and well worth a stop if you are in the vacinity. Most of the buildings have been completelhy rebuilt from the foundation up but even though they are not pristine it is still interesting. I thought the part about the black soldiers was very interesting, especially the first black officer from west point, Kareem Abdul Jabar narrates the film shown in the visitors center and it was VERY well done. Overall my hat is off to the park service, this is a very nice historical site.
