Fort Richardson (1867-1878) is located on the south bank of Lost Creek in Jacksboro, Texas. It was the northernmost frontier fort in Texas after the Civil War. The post hospital (shown), officer’s quarters, powder magazine, morgue, commissary, guard house and bakery that once produced 600 loaves of fresh bread each day are all on the grounds. Today a Texas State Park, the grounds also include nature trails and park ranger talks.
