Fort Davis National Historic Site

We went into town today and changed some money at the Fort Davis bank. Then we visited the county library to get on the internet and check email. Later we visited the Chihuahuan Desert Botanical Garden. Only a few plants were blooming, and those had the usual small flowers typical of desert plants. We also visited the Fort Davis National Historic Site run by the National Park Service. We watched a video of the history of the park. Then we walked through the hospital, which has been partially restored. The fort commander’s house is restored and furnished. We also saw other officers’ quarters and a sample enlisted men’s barracks.

Lee visited some neighbors in the campground who are casual bird watchers. They have put out in front of their motor home a number of bird feeders, including a hummingbird feeder. Lee likes what they have done and wants to wants to think about getting some bird feeders herself.
