Today Fort Phantom Hill is part of theTexas Forts Trail a 650-mile highway tour of historic Texas forts in West Central Texas. Originally known as the Post on the Clear Fork of the Brazos the fort was occupied by the U.S. Army from 1851 until 1854. Shortly after the army abandoned Fort Phantom Hill fire destroyed most of the log walls and thatched roofs of the posts buildings. However much remains for visitors to the old fort to explore inspect and study including three original stone buildings (an intact stone powder magazine a stone guardhouse and an almost-intact commissary or warehouse) more than a dozen stone chimneys and stone foundations from the original fort.
