Fort Atkinson, Military fort and National Historic Landmark in Fort Calhoun, Nebraska.
Fort Atkinson State Historical Park features reconstructed buildings and structures following the original layout of the first United States Army post west of Missouri River.
Established in 1819 under President James Monroe's military expedition, the fort supported a population of over 1,000 residents with local industries until its abandonment in 1827.
The fort includes a military museum displaying artifacts and hosts regular living history demonstrations focusing on craft work and military reenactments from May through October.
