Fort Belknap Historic Site - Historical place museum in Newcastle - 114 Fort Cir, USA

Fort Belknap lies thirteen miles Northwest of Cracker Town (Graham). It is the third frontier fort I have visited, and I look forward to visiting the other five. It is the most treed that I've encountered and lends to it an elegant lushness that I found most pleasing to the eye. It has a nice museum inside the Commissary. I am quite fond of the artwork I find inside the Museums as they lend an air of realism to the period. If I close my eyes, the sounds of horses winning, metal clanking, wagon wheels rolling, and dust flying all come alive. Definitely worth a visit.

The museum here is "limited" in the sense that it's a county historical museum. There is a lot of stuff in the museum that is not related to the fort and its history. But, it could be interesting and educational anyway. The fact that it's not a state park or national monument also limits funding. But, this fort has an amazing history and is a beautiful setting. The director Jim Hammond knows his stuff regarding this fort and west Texas frontier history. You owe it to yourself to stop by this place.

If you're into TX history, this is interesting. I'm not sure I would make it a destination, but I was just driving by. We couldn't go into the museum as it's closed on Wednesdays.

Very interesting...Small museum has some really cool items ..

I'm a history buff and this was a really neat place to visit. A LOT of the original Fort remains - definitely enough to get a good feel of the times.

Enjoyed the exhibit in the museum and talking with the curator. Nice quiet spot. Thanks for preserving our Texas history!

Very close to Graham Texas. We could view the buildings but not the inside. Lots of signage explaining each building.

It was a nice ole fort, you couldn't go inside any of the building but the canteen and it was like a small museum of all the artifact that was found there or around the fort. They did have a few cannons around the fort. They have placards in front of the buildings telling you what the building was used for. They use some of the buildings for family get togethers or reunions or what ever you need it for. There is a huge covered picnic area covered by grape vines from a local winery. Was a nice little day trip adventure if your into history
