So a mountian man named Jim Bridger first built this stockaded fort and then the US took it and built a new one, then the Mormons occupied it, and then the US took it over and built more stuff on it.
This was the intersection of the California, Mormon and Oregon Trails.
It was an old fort and then a new fort (almost as old) and then the US army gave it up early in the 1900's.
This is a picture looking into the open gates of the original wooden fort
