Fort Winnebago, Military fort in Columbia County, Wisconsin, United States
Fort Winnebago stands at a strategic location between the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers, controlling a primary water transportation route through the territory.
The United States Army constructed Fort Winnebago in 1828 as a response to conflicts with Native American tribes during the early settlement period.
The fort functioned as a meeting point between military personnel, settlers, and Native American tribes, facilitating negotiations and trade interactions.
Visitors can explore the restored military structures, examine period artifacts, and participate in educational programs about 19th-century frontier life.
The fort served as both a military garrison and a supply depot, storing provisions for troops and settlers traveling through the Wisconsin Territory.
