About this place
Witness absolutely breathtaking night skies with a guided event inside the historic site. This is the second best place to view the Milky Way in all of Texas, just behind Big Bend National Park.
Witness the Milky Way in all of it's glory at Fort Griffin State Historic Site. The site offers a monthly Star Skies of Texas viewing party and this is the only way inside of the Historic Site at night. The event itself lasts about 2-3 hours but they allow individuals to stay in the park as long as they want. This is the perfect opportunity to get unique shots utilizing the fort buildings as a foreground.
If you don't want to wait for the viewing party, you can always stay at the Fort Griffin Campground and explore the area around it to get shots. No matter where you are, if you're around the site or the nearby town of Albany, you'll be able to get clear shots of the night sky.
