Camp Lincoln, Military outpost in Crescent City, United States
The military compound included twelve frame buildings situated on sloping ground along the main road connecting Crescent City and the Native American reservation.
Camp Lincoln was established in 1862 by Company G of the 2nd Regiment Infantry California Volunteers to maintain order between settlers and Native Americans.
The military post served as a mediator between 1,500 Tolowa tribe members and local settlers during territorial conflicts in northwestern California.
Visitors can locate the historical site northeast of Crescent City via U.S. 199, turning onto Smith's River Valley Road where markers indicate the fort location.
The commanding officer's quarters and one barracks remained on the property when it received California Historical Landmark designation in 1962.
