Fort Gibson, Military outpost in Muskogee County, Oklahoma.
Fort Gibson extends across 80 acres of land, featuring 29 historic structures and archaeological remains from different periods of American frontier development.
Colonel Matthew Arbuckle established the fort in 1824 as the westernmost military installation in the United States, serving until its closure in 1890.
The fort became headquarters for the Tenth Cavalry, where African American buffalo soldiers served, marking a significant period in military integration history.
The site at 907 North Garrison Avenue opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with guided tours and educational programs.
Three major rivers - the Arkansas, Verdigris, and Grand - converge near the fort, making it a strategic point for river navigation and territorial control.
