Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975, Fort Sam Houston has been one of the integral parts in the military history of America. Hosting a large concentration of historic sites and monuments like the Pershing House and the glorious clock tower, the fort has served as headquarters of a number of departments of the United States Army. The fort was constructed in 1870, and its rolling Quadrangle, originally built as a supply depot, is perhaps one of the most appealing spots on the site. In 1886, however, it served as prison grounds for Apache Chief Geronimo and his warriors. Taking a place of pride in San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston is one of the most revered historic jewels of the country.
