Cove Fort Historic Site is the only remaining fort built in the 1800s by the Latter-Day Saints and was constructed to provide food, water, and shelter to Latter-Day Saints travelling between Idaho and California.

Fort tours let visitors experience fort life in the 1800s.

Here you can see the kitchen or “big room”, where visitors were fed and residents held religious services and meetings; the washing and weaving room, where all washing and bathing was performed; and guest rooms and family rooms as well as the telegraph office, which also functioned as an overflow eating hall. Visitors can also tour the stage and post office, bunkhouse, prairie wagon, replica barn, and blacksmith shop.
