On the day that Sam and Doris took us to Herd's Hamburgers, they also took us by Fort Richardson just for a quick look.

| Fort Richardson as partially reconstructed in 1956, Established by the United States War Department on November 26, 1867 as a protection of the frontier against hostile Indians. Named in honor of General Israel B Richardson, U.S.A., killed at Antietam, September 17, 1862. Abandoned May 23, 1878 as the line of settlement had passed westward. |

| Walking up to one of the reconstructed buildings - this one had interpretive displays about the history of the fort and the area. |

| Reconstructed post hospital building |
There were a number of campsites at the state park - they looked very nice and had good privacy between campsites.
We had thought we might make it back to visit more, but we didn't make it this time!
