Camp Sheridan, Military outpost and Indian agency in Sheridan County, Nebraska.
The site encompasses over 30 frame and brick structures built in 1875 along Beaver Creek, 12 miles upstream from the White River.
Camp Sheridan served as a guard post for the Spotted Tail Agency from 1874 to 1880, protecting the Brule Sioux settlement during westward expansion.
The location marks significant interactions between military forces and Native American tribes, particularly the Brule Sioux led by Chief Spotted Tail.
Visitors can access historical documentation and markers about Camp Sheridan through the Nebraska Historical Society and local research institutions.
The last journey of Oglala leader Crazy Horse passed through Camp Sheridan in September 1877, before his death at Fort Robinson.
