The Fort Logan H. Roots Military Post Historic District is an important area that was once a military base located known as Fort Logan H. Roots (usually referred to just as Fort Roots) with several important hospitals. Named for Congressman Logan H. Roots in honor of his excellent work in the negotiations, the military base was set on a high promontory overlooking the Arkansas River and today still retains many of the historic buildings flanking the former parade ground. The original buildings surrounded an 11-acre parade ground in the center of the original post, some of which were converted to hospital structures, but were later demolished. Today, the entire district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is open for the public to explore.
