Fort Clark, Military fort in Brackettville, United States.

Fort Clark stands on elevated terrain near Las Moras Springs, featuring limestone buildings and military structures from the 1800s across 2,700 acres of land.

Established in 1852 under Major Joseph LaMotte, the fort served as a strategic military outpost for protecting the Mexican border and safeguarding routes to El Paso.

The Seminole-Negro Indian Scout Cemetery contains the graves of four Medal of Honor recipients who served at this frontier military installation.

The Old Fort Clark Guardhouse Museum displays military artifacts, uniforms, weapons, and photographs documenting the history of various regiments stationed at the fort.

The springs that attracted the military to this location were named Las Moras by Spanish explorers, referring to the mulberry trees growing in the area.
