fort caspar museum and historic site印象

Both the museum and the reconstructed fort were well done and interesting. We enjoyed all the artifacts on display in the museum.

Fort Casper plays an important role in the western history of the US. The museum and grounds are very well done, allowing you a glimpse into life back then and an understanding of what was going on. Its a little bit out of the way, but worth the side trip.

Brought my family ages 11-15 and it was kinda cool. The inside exhibits were good. But they had the outside exhibits locked up. Don't know why it was a beautiful day. Anyway, learning anything about history is always good

Liked that they depict settings reasonably accurately, including replica weapons, clothing and such. But, some extra attention to detail would be nice, like not building replica 1800 bridges with galvanized nails or having bedside table guns pointing at the bed. (No self respecting soldier would have done that!) Take a stroll and enjoy some Wyoming history. Worth a stop and $3 investment in history.

excellent site to learn about the events that happened in the Casper area. We toured with a large group and there was plenty of room for all of us to view the replica fort area and walk over to the river.

This is a nice small museum. There is also an outdoor section with log buildings set up to show life in the West for Calvary and telegraphy employees. If you are interested in the history of Casper this is a good place to stop. My teen and preteen found the museum interesting. Maybe not as interesting for young children although they may enjoy looking at the pictures and artifacts. Free for active duty military and their immediate family members.

A relatively unknown story, the history of this fort on the Oregon Trail is splendidly retold at this historic site. The museum displays artifacts and original drawings of the Platte Bridge station, including a depiction of the July 26th, 1865 fight between Lakota warriors and U.S. Troops. A. Portion of the original 1,000 ft. bridge that enabled pioneers to cross the river has been reconstructed, as well as some of the fort's buildings. There will be three days in July dedicated to the battle and the Oregon trail. Reenactments and living history will occur.

It only costs $1.50. You can't go wrong with the cost. There are a lot of interesting facts to learn about the History of Casper by visiting the Fort. They also have a few of the buildings from the Fort there at the museum site. Unfortunately, they were closed off when we visited due to the chance of having bad weather. I think they open the buildings during the summer months. It was an interesting place and good for a couple of hours visit

We enjoyed looking through the outside areas! Unfortunately, we picked a day that was too hot and were looking for shaded areas as much as possible while outside. If you bring a stroller, make sure it's one with tires that can withstand a rougher terrain.

Being a living historian, re-enactor, and general history buff all my life, I try to visit as many historical sites as I can and have been to many, on three continents. Fort Caspar is small, unassuming, but, has quite the story to tell. You're walking hallowed ground. Very impressive book store, wonderfully friendly staff, great museum, and a visit to the Fort--nice. Just because it's small, don't overlook it, it played a big part in the westward expansion of our country.
