Dad's Notes:  This reconstructed pioneer fort has the stockade wall, two story blockhouses and two rows of log cabins inside the fort. It is an interesting history that in 1836 the fort was attacked and taken by Indians, the settlers killed and captured. Also about Cynthia Ann, a little girl who was captured, raised by Indians and whose Indian son came to be chief of the Comanche. You can read all about that and other history tidbits that continues till today.
