Fort Sherman, Military fort in Coeur d'Alene, US.
The fort complex extends along Lake Coeur d'Alene's north shore, featuring a chapel, officers' quarters, and administrative buildings within its original boundaries.
General William T. Sherman selected the location for the fort in 1877, leading to its establishment in 1878 as Camp Coeur d'Alene before receiving its current name.
The fort played a central role in regional military operations, managing relations between settlers and Native Americans while overseeing railroad construction and border security.
The Fort Sherman Chapel, maintained by the Museum of North Idaho, accommodates 80 to 100 guests and remains available for weddings and gatherings.
North Idaho College now operates on the former fort grounds, with two original structures still standing: the chapel and one officer's quarters.
