Mason can brag about their small museum. It is housed in the old elementary school and covered the history of the town very well . Mason was settled by cattle ranchers and German families who came from
Fredericksburg; the fort was built in 1851 to help control the Comanches. The fort no longer exists, but they have taken time to reconstruct an officer's building on the original site. Most of the stone from the fort was carted away to construct buildings in the town after the fort was closed. In the 70's some people decided to cart some of the stone back to the original fort and reconstruct a officer's quarters. |
