RecommendedWhat an amazing experience! This is a must see for anyone that loves history! The firearms collection is fantastic!! This is a must see!
Very friendly owners who interacted with the visitors. A gun collection second to none. The workmen ship in restoring the building was amazing. This is one of the best Forts I have ever visited.
I drove 2 1/2 hours to Fort Chad burn I was not disappointed I was very amazed The people running it was very very nice if you had any questions they would answer it for you if you have the time I would recommend you go
We had a fantastic time. We enjoyed every inch of this fort and the museum. It was one of the best museums I have ever visited. Unbelievably superior to most places we have visited. The wealth of the information available and the presentation is excellent. You have to stop in and see this!!!!
Business response:
Thank you for the nice compliment! Glad you enjoyed your visit! Come back again!
Great place to go for some Texas history
they have a great museum, the reconstruction and preservation of the ruins is great, and the owners/employees are very friendly.
I went not knowing what to expect. Words cannot say the overwhelming sense of pride I felt of being a Texan. This ranch was a family ranch before fort. The pride this family has in this treasure is outstanding. If you haven’t been take a little trip down the road. I don’t think you will regret it!!!
History of many of our heroes, Metal of Honors, & beautiful Gold Star Family tribute!
The history of the fort is really something. But the dedication to our veterans is total and amazing. Anyone who is interested in the weapons of the past, will enjoy the gun collection.
