Old Fort on the Prairie

Fort Fetterman, the last and longest operating fort on the Bozeman Trail, is preserved as a reminder of that colorful era known as the "winning of the west' in the 1860s. A restored officer's quarters and an ordinance warehouse stand among the many visible foundations of the fort and Fetterman City.
