Moore's Fort, Blockhouse in Round Top, Texas.
Moore's Fort consists of a twin dogtrot blockhouse structure featuring defensive positions and architectural elements common to early Texas settlements.
John Henry Moore constructed this fortification in 1828 to protect settlers from Comanche raids, making it the oldest building in Fayette County.
The fort represents the relationship between settlers and Native American tribes during the Texas settlement period, reflecting defense strategies of the time.
Visitors can access the historical site through organized tours and educational programs that highlight early Texas frontier life and military architecture.
The structure was moved from its original location in La Grange to Round Top, where it continues to stand as a testament to pioneer resilience.
