Ft. Richardson - Historical Reenactment Day








April 18 featured a day long reeactment of life at Ft. Richardson in the 1860's. Gunfights, Army Drills, Nurses tending to the wounded in the hospital and American Indians talking about their culture were just some of the activities. Cannon fire several times during the day got everyones attention!

Ft. Richardson, Jacksboro, TX

Traveled out there late on a Sunday. Arrived around 5:30 when the light was sweet. I had the company of 12 deer. I only had an opportunity to walk the main parade ground of this Panhandle fort last occupied to protect settlers from the Apache. I look forward to revisiting in the near future.
