Description

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.

The Ranch consists of approximately 7,100 acres (2,833 hectares) of land. It is comprised of the acreage that C.L. Meador and his son, C.L. Meador, Jr. acquired, and has been intact as a single block of land for over 75 years. While some of the original structures and the old homesteads have deteriorated and no longer exist, many new improvements on the ranch have been made.
