The recreation of a soldier’s cabin at Fort Casper.
Serving as a military post by the North Platte River in the 19th century, Fort Caspar was a crucial stop for travelers along the Oregon, Mormon and California trails, as well as a station of the Pony Express and transcontinental telegraph line. Fort Caspar has since been reconstructed to look as it did in 1865 and is now a museum that celebrates central Wyoming’s history.
Visitors to the attraction, located in the city of Casper, can view interpretations of the regional history of central Wyoming through artifacts of the prehistoric peoples and Native Americans who lived and traveled through the area, as well as memorabilia from the local ranching and energy industries.
