My name is Mud...or is it... Adobe

As the Largest adobe structures in Texas- Fort Leaton is made of adobe bricks and plaster, come join us to make your own.

Fort Leaton sits atop a small hill overseeing what use to be river front. As the river lived on moving away from the Fort, the building stands still and is considered the largest adobe structure in Texas. Join maintenance rangers as they continue to provide life to the building by plastering its walls and repairing the bricks that have eroded. You can make your mark on the Fort by making your own bricks and plaster.
