A must-see if you're into military history. The Red Cloud Agency, an "Indian agency" (government organization set up to interact with Native Americans), was established here in the 1870s, after which the fort was used by the army, more specifically the cavalry. You can visit buildings from this period of time, such as a blacksmith shop, veterinary hospital, officers' quarters, guardhouse, adjutant's office and cemetery. Around the time of the world wars, the U.S. Army Remount Service providing horses to the army was stationed here, and during the WWII it also served as a POW camp. After the war the army left, and a museum was opened on the premises in 1955. Eventually the whole fort and surrounding area became a state park and visitor attraction.
