For Kids
Volunteer portraying a servant in the kitchen at Fort Davis.

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. Allow 1 1/2 to 2 hours to complete. We also have a Junior Ranger Program for children under 8.

 

Curriculum-based education programs are also available for school groups. See FOR TEACHERS  for more information.

Did You Know?
The state of sanitation was a constant worry to the post surgeons. Dr. Daniel Weisel, who served at Fort Davis from 1868 -72, complained that the barracks were dirty and disorderly. The doctor also tried to get orders issued requiring every soldier to bathe at least twice a week during the summer.
