We had a Great time !! We Will definitely be back !! Our kids from Ohio Loved it !!!
We had a wonderful time today at Fort Chadbourne. The Richards family were very personable and thank you to Tyler (the grandson) who took us around the property. We highly recommend taking the family and checking out this part of our history.
An amazing look back into frontier history! More artifacts and history than we could look at in an afternoon. We're already planning to return and spend more time. The owners and staff spent one-on-one time describing the history of the site. It's rare to find a historical site or museum of this high quality.
Wonderful visitors centre and the people are so nice, informative and a good place for a visit.
They staff which are the family that owns the fort were very nice and very knowledgeable. They made it to be a very rememberable experience and went out of their way to show us all around the property. Definitely take time to do the tour you'll need at least a couple hours.
What a great place! Highly recommend this place. Take the tour!
Loved it!! The folks here were just wonderful! Sammy the dog is precious! The gun collection is phenomenal
