Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located near the town of Fort Laramie, Fort Laramie National Historic Site preserves one of the most important locations in the history of westward expansion in America. Initially established in 1834 as a fur trading post, Fort Laramie later became a military post along the westward migrating trails before being abandoned in 1890. Fort Laramie was the site of treaty negotiations with the Northern Plains Indian Nations in the mid-1800s and was a primary information hub along western routes. Today, visitors can explore the historic site on staff-guided or self-guided tours and learn more about the history of the fort through a variety of educational displays and 30-minute-long interpretive talks at the modern visitor center.
