Fort Tejon Historical Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fort Tejon Historical Association (FTHA) is a historical society dedicated to preserving the historic site at Fort Tejon State Historic Park, in Kern County, California, and educating the public about the fort’s role in 19th century California and U.S. history.

Fort Tejon was established in 1854 at Tejon Pass, in the canyon between the San Emigdio Mountains and Tehachapi Mountains. It is located near present-day Gorman on Interstate 5 in California.

The FTHA is well known for its annual Civil War reenactments that take place in June.
