Between the years of 1854 and 1891, the fort was located strategically to protect freight wagons, mail coaches, and emigrants on the Trans-Peco part of the San Antonio-El Paso Road, as well as one the Chihuahua Trail. It’s recommended that guests stop by the visitor center and museum at Fort Davis first, which shows a fifteen-minute film about the fort’s history. The site contains five restored buildings and around 100 foundations and ruins.
