Fort Tejon, Military heritage site in Grapevine Canyon, US.
Fort Tejon State Historic Park contains original barracks, officer quarters, and military structures situated between San Emigdio Mountains and Tehachapi Mountains.
The United States Army established Fort Tejon in 1854 to maintain order and protect travelers along El Camino Real until its closure in 1864.
The Fort Tejon Historical Association conducts demonstrations and military reenactments to educate visitors about life during the American Civil War period.
The five-acre park maintains interpretive trails, picnic facilities, and restored buildings that visitors can explore throughout the year.
Fort Tejon served as the western terminus for the experimental U.S. Camel Corps, which tested camels for military transport across desert regions.
