Viewing the Fort Grounds

Fort Fred Steele was established in 1868 as one of a group of military posts placed along the route of the Trans-Continental Railroad to protect and support railroad construction. Today, except for the Powder Magazine south of the railroad tracks, only foundations remain. Some unique structures were part of the post, including the stone sidewalk along Officers Row on the west side of the post, part of which still exists, and the Stone Corral, much of which still stands. Building number 13 shows evidence of being a military structure and may have been a barracks.
