| Restoration of
the fort began in 1968 when the old
school and one of the barracks was acquired and it was under the
control of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The restoration
continued and by 1990 seventeen buildings had been restored. Now known
as Fort McKavett State Historic Site, the area is a day-use
facility of 82 acres. |
