The forts we will visit are primarily the defensive line established in the 1850s to protect the Texas frontier from the numerous tribes contesting the land. Most were abandoned during the Civil War, then re-established after that conflict. Today they range from haunting ruins (Fort Phantom Hill) to what is often considered the most completely preserved/restored Indian Wars post in the country, Fort Concho. The earliest post, The Presidio San Saba (1761) is the largest Spanish Presidio in this country. Its partial restoration helps visualize its immense size. Combine all of this with what I believe is the finest Western History Museum in the country – Frontier Texas – and you have a tour you won’t want to miss. We have only one bus – don’t miss it. Get on board now – The Texas Forts Trail with the Order the of the Indian Wars, September 15 – 18, 2022, Abilene, Texas.

While every attempt was made to hold the price down, the cost of the bus more than doubled over last year – from $3,400 to over $7,000. The price per person will be $525. Please remember you must be a member to go on the tour. This website will have the latest news.
