A former U.S. Army Fort, declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960, and is now a sprawling 22,000-acre public recreation and historic reservation area. It’s history dates back to the late 1800’s and the Red Cloud Agency days. First established as a camp, Fort Robinson was a base of the US military forces and played a major role in the Sioux Wars from 1879-1890. The war chief Crazy Horse surrendered in 1877. The fort also served as home to the 9th Calvary Regiment, nicknamed the “Buffalo Soldiers” and then later home to the world’s largest remount depot. It was used as a breeding and training facility for military horses and the extensive equine facilities still remain today. During World War II, Fort Robinson was transformed into a K-9 crops training center for military dogs. When visiting the fort, one can visit many of the original buildings and facilities, visit the library full of materials on the forts extensive military, western and Native American history, tour museums and enjoy the 22,000 acres of trails and streams. Fort Robinson is considered by many a local and national treasure of history and nature.
