Howdy and Welcome!

Travel the region and experience the charm of this mainly rural area of the state. Visit historic sites, museums and courthouses – as well as downtowns offering unique shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities. Explore state parks, take part in time-honored festivals and enjoy the diverse landscape. Along the way, walk in the footsteps of a colorful cast of characters – Spanish missionaries, nomadic Native Americans, gritty soldiers, cattlemen and eager settlers.

Today's Texas Forts Trail is a recommended 650-mile driving route within a 29-county region of Central West Texas.  The Trail highlights a Spanish presidio and eight historic frontier forts and the communities and attractions that surround them.
