Fort Yellowstone, Military base in Mammoth Hot Springs, United States.
The fort contains 35 preserved buildings from the 1890s including officers' quarters, barracks, and stables arranged in a typical western military layout.
From 1886 to 1918, Company M of the First United States Cavalry protected Yellowstone National Park against resource exploitation and illegal hunting activities.
Scottish stonemasons constructed sandstone buildings in Colonial Revival style, including the Albright Visitor Center that served as Bachelor Officers' Quarters.
The fort functions as the administrative headquarters of Yellowstone National Park, housing visitor services and park management operations throughout the year.
Local quarry stones from the surrounding area were integrated into the construction of multiple buildings during the 1909 expansion phase.
