West Texas Heritage Days
Fort McKavett State Historic Site will come to life on March 27th, 2010, as living historians and re-enactors from around the state gather to portray life as it would have been at the fort in the 1800s. Gates will open at 8 a.m. followed by a 10 a.m. flag raising ceremony.
Throughout the day, activities will include cavalry, artillery and infantry drills, Native American demonstrations, Buffalo Soldiers, Buffalo Hunters, chuck wagon demonstrations, the Texas Camel Corps and demonstrations of other frontier skills. A band playing period music will perform during a barbeque lunch offered to the public by the Friends of Fort McKavett. Donations to help defray the cost of the food are appreciated.
The day will conclude with the lowering of the flag at 4:30 p.m.
