For Kids
Picture of the Jr. Ranger badge and patch.
Children age 8 through 14 can earn a badge or patch by doing the "Mystery of the Talking Walls." Under adult supervision, children follow a map and gather clues; they then have to DECODE a secret message. A version is available in Braille and in large text format for visually-impaired youth. Spanish version also available. Allow 1 1/2 to 2 hours to complete. We also have a Junior Ranger Program for children under 8. Free of charge

Did You Know?
In an attempt to better supply Fort Davis and other southwestern posts, the army embarked on an unusual experiment by importing camels from the Middle East in 1856. Camels passed through Fort Davis in 1857, 1859 and 1860.
