Fort Sidney, Military fort in Sidney, Nebraska, United States.
Fort Sidney Complex encompasses several historical buildings, including the Powder House, Married Officer's Quarters, and Post Commander's Home with period furnishings.
The fort started as Sidney Barracks in 1867 to protect Union Pacific Railroad workers and later became a crucial military outpost along the Sidney-Black Hills Trail.
The Cheyenne County Museum, located in the former Married Officer's Quarters, displays artifacts representing the settlement period of western Nebraska.
Visitors can explore multiple restored buildings within the fort complex, each showcasing different aspects of 19th-century military life on the frontier.
The fort received wooden structures transported by mule train from the abandoned Fort Sedgewick in Colorado during its early development phase.
