Review:
Fort Atkinson is a State Historical Park in Fort Calhoun just north of Omaha. Erected in 1819, the fort was the first United States Army post to be established in the unorganized region of the Louisiana Purchase of the United States. Today the 157-acre park features a reconstructed 1820s log fort atop Council Bluff, which was the place where 1804 Lewis and Clark Expedition and the Oto-Missouria first met. The Harold W. Andersen Visitor Center features an array of informative exhibits and displays and hosts several living-history weekends a year. Fort Atkinson is open year-round.
