Fort Fetterman

Fort Fetterman was a U.S. military outpost established in 1867 in present-day Wyoming. It served as a strategic point on the frontier to protect settlers, facilitate communication, and secure the region from conflicts with Native American tribes. The fort included barracks, supply facilities, and defensive structures, functioning mainly during the late 1800s until it was decommissioned in 1880. Today, it is a historic site where visitors can learn about its role in westward expansion, frontier life, and military history.
