At this historic park, a tracery of ruins and edifices chronicle the historic legacy of Fort Tejon. Fort Tejon was an outpost which was integral to the American military during its heyday in the 1800s. Built to guard the local community from attacks from neighboring Native Indian groups, the fort has braved the ravages of time, yet standing strong as a stirring reminder of its former might. Remnants of a bygone era include restored rooms, officers' quarters and barracks which lend deeper insights into the life and times of the soldiers and military generals who once inhabited the space. Enlisted on to the National Register of Historic Places, Tejon Fort State Historic Park is home to a museum that showcases the region's history.
