This is good news!
The Conservation Fund announced a deal has been finalized to transfer ownership of a 48 acre bluff overlooking
Fort Davis National Historic Site to the National Park Service, thereby preserving the character of this impressive and historic location in
Fort Davis.
You can read the full story here in the Alpine Avalanche; and
more about the sale is here. The sale is the result of the hard work and advocacy of many in Fort Davis and around the country over four years.
Fort Davis National Historic Site is perhaps the best preserved frontier fort in the west, and tells the story of the post-Civil War era and the story of African American soldiers of the time.
