Fort Leaton State Historic Site in Presidio, TX | HVAC Near Me

Loved this fort! Hearing the bats in the ceiling was a little bit of a surprise but was very cool. I enjoyed seeing the rooms furnished and walking through them. It has a very informative walk through to learn about the history of the fort. The park ranger was a big help also as I planned on going into Big Bend the following day. She helped with the roads and suggestions on some of the trails.

Nice historic place. Well maintained. It's just located outside of presidio. The entry fees is $5 for adults. Due to Covid most of the rooms are inaccessible. There are a few trails around the fort to explore. But while exploring the trails do take enough water as the weather in Presidio is very hot and the temperature rises very quickly once the sun 🌞 is out. It's a nice few hours stop (taking the trails)if you are passing by but by itself it can't be set as a destination.

Great stop if you are passing through, not sure it's a destination on its own. This grand Adobe structure dates back to 1848, the bathrooms were closed when i visited and no porta potties.  The entrance fee is only $5 and is good at any other park for the day. You can walk around the grounds for free. Someone the rooms have been redone and some are barren... the courtyard is similar with parts fully restored and parts in ruin and a giant hay wagon. Plan to spend an hour here.

The Fort is very well preserved and cared for. Very cool to see the set up of the fort. We enjoyed the interpretive exhibit and the self-guided tour!

Not a military fort. This was a Mexican trading post fortified against Indians.  Privately owned by a wealthy Mexican family who lived in Texas.

Built in the 1830s as a residence, Benjamin Layton converted the this adobe structure into a trading post and fortress in 1848.  In 1967, it was deeded to the state of Texas and opened to the public in 1978 as a Texas State Historic Site. We happened to visit after a scenic drive on FM 170 from Lajitas, TX.  It's easy to miss as you're coming down the road so watch for signs.  In addition to the historic ruins, there are nature trails, exhibits with artifacts, a picnic area,  a gift shop, and public restrooms. There's a $5 per Adult entry fee that applies to both the fort and to Big Bend Ranch State Park. Kids 12 and under are free and the off-peak season price is $3. They also have tours, but we just did the self-guided tour.  Overall an interesting historical place to visit. There is even a Pokemon Go stop nearby to please the kids and the young at heart.

Interesting historic site near Presidio. Hard to believe they were able to survive... and even thrive... so many years ago. Worth the stop on your way to Big Bend.

Staff was helpful to provide me directions to Big Bend Ranch State Park.  Fort Leaton State Historic Site is well kept and clean.

Great place to stop for an hour and experience early local history.  Friendly staff, interesting exhibits all in beautifully maintained trading fort.  Small fee to enter, included with Texas State Parks Pass.  With it.

This Fort is really worth the tour. Original construction and ongoing restoration work can be seen. They have lots of the original rooms staged to get a feel for life in the Fort back in the 1800s. The thick adobe walls offer a substantial temperature difference from outside considering there's no heat or AC in place.

You can get all your State Park permits and reservations confirmed at the Fort office and there's a clean bathroom. That's the last non E-Loo toilet til you get to one of the other visitor centers. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful.
