Fort Griffin Wherigo Cache

Fort Griffin State Historic Site is a 506-acre property that features a post-Civil War fort established to protect local settlers from a variety of threats, including Kiowa and Comanche raids.

On July 31, 1867, Lt. Col. Samuel D. Sturgis and four companies of the 6th Cavalry established a new post high on a plateau, overlooking a bend of the Clear Fork of the Brazos River to the northeast. First designated as Camp Wilson, the name of the post was changed to Fort Griffin in honor of Gen. Charles Griffin, the commander of the Department of Texas who died of yellow fever the previous September in an epidemic sweeping Galveston.
