    We stopped by here after a run out to Luckenbach. It was closed for the day, so we just walked the loop, read the signs, and looked around. We were the only ones there, so finding the geocache there was no problem at all. There are beautiful trees, and some neat historical buildings. Will go back again someday when they are open to get a little more info. Stop by if you like history.

    We were out geocaching and stopped here to find the cache hidden at the Fort complex. The interpretive trail markers allowed us to tour the area on our own. There are several buildings, all with historical significance. We were most fascinated with the soldiers' jail located at the back. Life was definitely different back then! If you are a history buff, enjoy historical forts, or just want to learn something new, I recommend stopping by. The price is right. It's free.

    A good view of early life in Fredericksburg. The information given was very informative and the reconstructed buildings make me thankful that I was not born in that time. The only drawback is that there is no one there to get information from and the buildings are closed. It would have been better if the buildings were open.

    My husband and son went on a trip together. They had a great time. The people were very friendly and informative. My son and husband learned some things and had a great time. My son was even allowed to ride a horse. Looking forward to next years trip.

    Fort Martin Scott is the best tourism deal in Fredericksburg. It's FREE. If you like history then be sure to stop by. Fort Martin Scott began as a Texas Ranger camp and evolved into a US Army Post. Some of the buildings have been reconstructed to give you an idea of life in the post. We were there at 9 am on a Friday and all of the buildings were open to walk into. There are signs along the tour route to explain the building and to give you a little history of the area. In the future it will be joined with the Texas Ranger Heritage Center next door and more buildings will be reconstructed. So in a few years, I will go back to see how it's changed.Please stop. If you have fun then leave them a donation.

    This old army fort site adjoins the under construction Texas Ranger museum. We found the fort interesting - a personable docent helps with history. Only one original building - others are being reconstructed. No admission charge although donations are appreciated. Well Worth a half hour visit.

    This fort was built to protect the new settlers in that area during Fredericksburg's early days. Though the buildings were locked, it was still enough atmosphere to relive the history of those days.

    While driving out to the wildseed farm, my husband and I noticed people walking around, what seemed to be an outside museum. Curious, we stopped and were taken aback by the beauty, and the story behind the original fort. Only wish we had shown up there when they did the reactment of life at the fort.

    Very nice, and guide was full of information. It's mostly a self guided tour. If you're in Fredericksburg, I would say do it, but If you're not, I would not drive here just for this.

    Fort Martin Scott is a restored Army outpost located along 290 East in Fredericksburg, Texas. It is a self guided tour of the first established military post which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Former Texas Rangers Association is building their Heritage Center museum and hall of fame- visitors center and pavilion next door. Soon you will be able to visit both. I suggest taking this tour in the Spring or Fall due to extreme heat in summer. You are walking around the fort and buildings .

    We had a delightful tour from the man who takes care of the fort. There is no entry fee. We had our well-behaved dog with us and he welcomed her. (I, also, had a guide dog in training.) The tour included a complete history of the fort from beginning to present day. At the end I mentioned that I appreciated that my pet was welcome and asked if that is normally the case (We were there on a very slow day.) He said that yes, dogs are welcome at the fort. I would note that your dog should be well-mannered and to please pick up after your dog should the need arise. Please help keep Fort Martin Scott dog-friendly!

    Nice self guided walk around. Watch out for the fire ants. Some original. ... Some restored. If you like history of the region. It would be of interest to you.

    The buildings are "open" to look into, the signs give a great history of the fort so that you can learn about the life and times of the fort and it's people. A quick stop along the Texas trail.

    only one original building is left, a pile of rocks or some cactus to show where the original buildings stood. didn't know that touring of the building is only until 3 pm. couldn't look inside, curator said I could look through the windows if I wanted, but you couldn't really see anything interesting. glad it was free. that's all its worth.

    I stood there immersed in all the beauty of the area and felt the German and Comanches become one at this historic fort. All of the buildings except the stockade are rebuilt. It has a quality I can't describe and I felt the struggle of the new settlers of the area and their triumph of coming to peace with the comanches.
