"Fort Richardson was an United States Army installation located one mile (1.6 km) south of Jacksboro, Texas. Named in honor of Union General Israel B. Richardson, who died in the Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War, it was active from 1867 to 1878."
"Today the site is called Fort Richardson State Park, Historic Site & Lost Creek Reservoir State Trailway. Visitors can tour seven restored original buildings, including the post hospital, officers' quarters, powder magazine, morgue, commissary, guardhouse and bakery. There are also two replica buildings of the enlisted men's barracks and the officer's barracks, which houses the Interpretive Center. Guided tours of the buildings are held daily."
