Historic Fort Stockton

This typical frontier military post was established in 1858 as Camp Stockton and abandoned in 1886. The fort consisted of 35 buildings made of adobe and hand-hewn limestone. The remaining original buildings include three of the eight officers' quarters, guardhouse with jailer's quarters, three solitary confinement cells and a larger holding cell. Some of the other buildings have been reconstructed. Open 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Mon.–Sat. Admission charge. 300 E. Third. 432/336-2400.
