Fort Davis started as a garrison town that supported the military fort built in 1854 to defend the region . Today , the Fort Davis National Historic Site is one of the best surviving examples of an Indian war ’ s frontier military post in the Southwest ; and the town has become a charming reminder of life in the old west . Several art galleries showcase fine examples of western painting , sculpture , and striking photography by regional artists and locals .
Davis Mountains State Park is just four miles northwest of town and offers an extensive array of hiking trails , campsites , and some of the most scenic views in the region . It ' s a great place to experience the area ' s natural beauty and landscape .
Just 17 miles northwest of Fort Davis is the McDonald Observatory , one of the world ' s leading centers for astronomical research , teaching and public education . It boasts a cutting-edge Visitors Center and offers daytime , twilight and evening programs . Visit McDonaldObservatory . org for details .
