Old Fort Parker

I've never been to Old Fort Parker.

This is the fort from which Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped. She is the mother of Quanah Parker.

The fort is now restored as in pioneer times. There you can see pioneer memorabilia, a log blockhouse and stockade. Here you can learn about history of the time period. There are picnic sites. There is a active graveyard two miles away, in which you can see graves of some of the people killed during the attacks. Throughout the year there are also living history events, including Christmas, fall trailrides, and primitive skills classes and campouts.

That I'd like to see.
