Brackettville, Texas Travel Guide Also see Del
Rio
Brackettville began as the home of Fort Clark,
built by the U.S. Cavalry in 1852 to protect the frontier from hostile
Indians. Through the years it was home to many famous names in the military
world including General George S. Patton. During World War II, Fort Clark
served as a German POW camp. Even if you've never visited the region, you
just might recognize the Brackettville area thanks to the movies. The
town is home to Alamo Village,
a family amusement park and frequently used movie set. The village is
built around a replica of the Alamo that was constructed for the John
Wayne movie of the same name. |
