Fort Martin Scott, Military outpost in Fredericksburg, United States.
Fort Martin Scott consists of restored buildings, including an original guardhouse and several reconstructed structures that demonstrate frontier military architecture of Texas.
Established in 1848 as Camp Houston, the fort operated until 1853 as part of a defensive line protecting settlers and travelers in the Texas frontier.
The fort witnessed negotiations between settlers and Native American tribes, resulting in the Fort Martin Scott Treaty of 1850 that regulated trade relations.
Located at 1606 East Main Street in Fredericksburg, the fort offers self-guided tours Thursday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
After its military service, the fort transformed into a German biergarten in 1870 when Johann Wolfgang Braeutigam acquired the property.
