Fort Spokane, Military fort in Lincoln County, United States
Fort Spokane stands at the meeting point of the Columbia and Spokane rivers, featuring four preserved buildings from its original military construction in 1880.
The United States Army established Fort Spokane in 1880 to maintain separation between Native American reservations and the growing settlements near Spokane.
The fort transformed from a military post into an Indian boarding school in 1900, later serving as a tuberculosis hospital until its closure in 1929.
The National Park Service operates a visitor center in the former guardhouse, offering free exhibitions about military operations and Native American education programs.
The fort's reservoir, powder magazine, guard house, and stable remain as original structures from the 1880s within Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area.
