If you’re familiar with the Lone Star state, you are probably aware of the many abandoned sites that are worth discovering. In Texas, there is a wide range of abandoned bunkers and military structures, but one that stands out is Fort Travis in Galveston. Its intriguing and eerie atmosphere makes it a unique location.
Let’s explore the extent to which this abandoned fort has been preserved since its decommissioning. However, be warned – some believe that Fort Travis may have a haunted presence. The fort was built in 1898 and completed the following year, and played an important role in World War I by protecting the Port of Galveston from potential threats.
After undergoing enlargement in 1942, the fort accommodated 2,500 men. The fort’s defenses were also upgraded by installing various types of guns, including anti-aircraft and 16-inch rifles. Despite restricted access to the underground bunkers, there was still plenty of ground within the fort’s walls for exploration. The fort was now a formidable stronghold, ready to defend against any potential threats.
