Fort Mason
Fort Mason is on a hill above Mason, Texas. It was the last outpost of Robert E. Lee right before he was called to Washington when he was asked to command the Union troops in the Civil War. He refused saying that he would never fight against his home state Virginia. Fort Mason was abandoned in 1869 and most of the buildings were dismantled by the settlers who used the rocks to build homes and barns. This officers barracks has been restored.
