Fort Klamath, Military outpost in Klamath County, Oregon, United States.
Fort Klamath spans across 8 acres between Crater Lake National Park and Upper Klamath Lake, featuring a museum housed in a replica of the original guardhouse.
Established in 1863, Fort Klamath served as a strategic military base during conflicts with the Klamath, Modoc, and Northern Paiute tribes until its closure in 1889.
The fort grounds contain the graves of four Modoc tribal members, including Captain Jack, who were executed following the events of the 1872-1873 conflict.
The Klamath County Museum at Fort Klamath remains open to visitors, offering exhibits about military operations and Native American relations in the 19th century.
During its final winter of operation, the fort experienced extreme weather conditions with over 20 feet of snow, leading to the evacuation of Company I.
