Fort Aubrey, Military fort near Syracuse, Kansas, United States.
Fort Aubrey stands at the head of Spring Creek, approximately two miles north of the Arkansas River between Kendall and Syracuse in Hamilton County.
The 48th Wisconsin Infantry established Camp Wynkoop in September 1865, later renamed Fort Aubrey to honor trader Francis Xavier Aubry who died in Santa Fe.
The fort represents the military expansion into western territories during the post-Civil War period, when the Army sought to control frontier regions.
Visitors can reach the fort site three miles east of Syracuse via U.S. Highway 50, following rural roads south and east to the location.
The remaining structures include three clusters of dugout depressions where soldiers once lived in partially underground shelters during the fort's nine-month operation.
