The Forts Trail Region was once the wild frontier where soldiers built garrisons linking wild country and unsettled lands, while protective Native Americans defended their traditional hunting grounds. Come hear the stories and explore the places where history was made—and make your own memories! Visit a historic site, tour a museum, or check out the local sites, shops, and eateries.
