Quadrangle Fort Sam Houston

Very nice historic place in the heart of San Antonio. Geronimo and his followers were held there for a while, while his fate was decided and he was eventually sent to federal prison in Florida. There are deer and peacocks walking around. Maybe one day I'll meet LTG Laura Richardson. She's a legend in the Army.

Plus the animals add to the peace. I was able to walk around after the tour just to enjoy the scenery. It was free admissions and you can always give donations.

This is a truely underated gem of San Antonio.

You can take a walk through the museum to learn the history of the fort and see everything from authentic uniforms to antique firearms and even a short film, should you choose to watch it. From the museum, bags of feed are available to feed the deer and peacocks as you walk the grounds. You can snap a picture in front of the clock tower where, as legend has it, Geronimo was once held prisoner. This is also a great location for a small picnic.
