Long Description:Fort Bridger is now a Wyoming State Park. It has an impressive
history, from the days of the Mountain Men, the Mormons and the
Military that guarded the Oregon Trail. Established by Jim Bridger
in 1843, it endured because of its strategic location as a
defensive outpost until 1890. It was dedicated as a Wyoming
Historical Landmark and Museum in 1933.
There are 34 restored original buildings and 18 identified
former structures at the fort. It is only a few miles away from
Interstate 80 in western Wyoming and well worth a visit.
