Fort Egbert, Military fort in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, United States.

Fort Egbert stands near the Tanana River, featuring multiple buildings including barracks, officer quarters, and a hospital amid the Alaskan wilderness.

Established in 1899 during the Klondike Gold Rush, Fort Egbert served as a military installation to protect miners and settlers until its decommission in 1936.

The military post influenced local development through its role in establishing communication networks between Alaska and other parts of the United States.

Visitors can access the fort through established roads leading to Eagle, Alaska, with guided tours available to explore the preserved historical structures.

Archaeological excavations at Fort Egbert continue to uncover artifacts that document daily military life in early twentieth-century Alaska.
