Fort Lapwai, Military fort in Nez Perce County, Idaho, US.
The fort complex includes a preserved officers quarters building constructed in 1883 as a duplex structure for two military families.
The federal military installation operated from 1862 to 1884, serving as a center for operations during the conflicts with the Nez Perce tribe.
The fort grounds later transformed into the Northern Idaho Indian Agency in 1904, maintaining connections with the Nez Perce community.
Visitors can reach the fort by taking Highway 95 South from Lapwai for 3.5 miles, turning right on Agency Drive, then left on A Street.
The name Lapwai derives from the native term meaning place of butterflies, referring to the numerous insects present during early summer.
