Fort McKavett State Historical Site and the Fort Trading Post – 1 hour
Fort McKavett founded in 1852 on the headwaters of the San Saba river consists of 15 buildings kept, through constant use and maintenance, in near original condition. These buildings include: officers’ quarters, barracks, a hospital, a school house, a bakery, post headquarters among others. The fort was established as a deterrent to Indian raids, mainly by Comanches and Lipan Apaches, in the area and to provide protection for travelers on the Upper El Paso Road, an important artery for emigration to the California gold fields. Around the corner from the fort you can have a drink at The Fort Trading Post. It is an authentic place full of collectibles- from cow horns to oil lamps, leather and beads to antique beer and spice signs- the walls tell it all.

More than 3 miles of hiking trails meander through the 37 acre property and vary from the rocky outcrops of Agave Ridge to the densely wooded and seemingly secret corridors of Zed's Cut. Watch as the landscape transforms with each step.
Old Sonora Ice House Ranch Museum
Come by and see our eclectic mix of memorabilia and visit our unique gift shop. Our exhibits use a wonderful array of neat old artifacts to educate and entertain the visitor about ranching in the late 19th and early 20th century in this area, delightfully mixed with relics of our town and a special exhibit about Will Carver, the member of the "Wild Bunch" gang that met his fate on the streets of Sonora. You'll leave with a new appreciation of the pioneers that developed this rugged area when the discovery of a deep water well drilling technique opened this parched prairie to sheep, cattle and goats after the bustle of the West had passed it by. See our Face Book page for more information!
