Fort Tejon State Historic Park is the site of a fort established by the U.S. Army in 1854. The post is one of the significant remaining links to the early American occupation period of California. The fort was designed to protect Native Americans living on the Sebastian Indian Reservation. There are restored adobes from the original fort and the park's museum features exhibits on army life and local history. The park also has a number of beautiful 300 year-old valley oak trees. The site also has living history events held by volunteers in costume.
