The Stone Fort Museum

El Camino Real de los Tejas

Join us on a trek across Texas as we explore the origins of the first established road in Texas. Check out the Museum’s new video, El Camino Real de los Tejas. More information.

The campus of Stephen F. Austin State University is home to a fort, and not just any fort. A fort that was a trading post, private home, church, jail, and saloon - but never a fort. A fort that was built three times, and a fort that was torn down by men to be re-erected by women. Read more about the history of the Stone Fort.
