Fort Sanders, Military fort and historic site near Laramie, United States.
The fort complex spans over 89,000 square feet with a central parade ground and stone guardhouse constructed in southern Wyoming during 1866.
Originally named Fort John Buford, the military installation protected travelers on the Overland Trail and Union Pacific Railroad workers from 1866 to 1882.
The fort buildings reflect 19th-century military architecture, with one structure now serving as the Cavalrymen Supper Club in downtown Laramie.
The stone guardhouse remains accessible at the original location, while two relocated buildings stand within the city of Laramie.
During its operational years, troops stationed at Fort Sanders participated in twenty major confrontations and joined General Custer's 1876 campaign.
