Historic Site with a museum and gift shop. It is a must see for anyone interest in the local history. There is also a newly added observatory, Sky Lab. If you go the the Facebook page for the fort there is a link to the Sky Lab with current information.

Built to protect travelers heading north along the Bozeman Trail to the Montana gold fields, Fort Phil Kearny witnessed the events of Red Cloud’s War, between 1866 and 1868.

Buffalo lies on the route of the Bozeman Trail, a 19th-century shortcut to the gold country of Montana that cut right through the hunting grounds of several resentful tribes. The U.S. Army built forts to protect travelers, and engaged in skirmishes with the resident Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho. The largest fort was Fort Phil Kearny, exit 44 off I-90 (tel. 307/684-7629; www.philkearny.vcn.com), where soldiers endured repeated raids by hostile Indians. Though the original fort is gone, the site today is a national historic site with a visitor center and tours of two major battlefields nearby: the 1866 Fetterman Massacre, in which Crazy Horse and his band overwhelmed a small army contingent; and the Wagon Box Fight, which went the other way. The visitor center is open daily 8am to 6pm from mid-May to September; and Wednesday through Sunday noon to 4pm the rest of the year; admission is $4.
