Fort Bridger, Military outpost in Uinta County, United States.
Fort Bridger contains 37 acres of land with 27 historic structures, 4 replica buildings, and various military-era pine trees along Groshon Creek.
Established in 1842 by mountain man Jim Bridger, the fort started as a trading post with a stockade and four log cabins on Blacks Fork.
The fort served as a crucial resupply station for emigrants traveling on the Oregon Trail, California Trail, Mormon Trail, and Pony Express route.
Located three miles from Interstate 80 at exit 34, the museum operates daily from May through September between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
The fort grounds include the original Pony Express barn, sections of Mormon protective walls, and military structures from five different occupation periods.
