  It's a neat place to learn about and even experience a piece of American and Nebraska history.

  We love coming here. In the 1820's it housed a fourth of all of the States' Army. It's fun to think about what history was like 200 years ago on the frontier. The living history days are the best.

  A place of great historical importance. As far as I understand, Clark (yes, one of Lewis and Clark who started expedition in 1804 to west ward water route from Missouri to Pacific ocean after Louisiana purchase by US from French) mentioned it about the potential of this place in his expedition diary and in 1820 Forth Atkinson was established. This place was actively in use until 1837 when the decline of this place started.
  
  You can see several things here including tools used in surgery those days by surgeons, the kitchen. But most fascinating one is the punishment room. These are not execution room, rather displays several way how the people were punished for small offences. Please see the picture below from the punishment room.

  An excellent historical site. The period actors/soldiers were well informed and the staff were very helpful. They have great history of the Territory and the Louisiana purchase...and the United States and Native Americans in particular .
