Fort Laramie, Wyoming

This is a very well curated site! Built originally as a fur trading outpost the US Army built it up to 22 buildings and staffed it with nearly 400 soldiers. Many of these buildings have been very well rebuilt or preserved with many ruins still worth touring.

The largest building is a well appointed barracks displaying how 120 men would live together.

I’ll include photos of many of the informational signs I captured so I can read them later.Read more
