Before being abandoned in 1890, Fort Laramie National Historic Site was the biggest and most well-known military post on the Northern Plains. Today, the Fort Laramie National Historic Site seeks to preserve the site and share its history with the world.

The visitor center offers a variety of educational displays, and visitors can also view a number of ruins and restored buildings. Visitors should allow approximately 2 hours to tour the site, and 30-minute-long interpretive talks are open daily during the summer months. The park is open 365 days a year, and the visitor center is open every day except for Thanksgiving, New Year’s, and Christmas.
