Fort Sidney Museum

As the Union Pacific railroad was built across Western Nebraska in 1867, Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe opposition to it's construction intensified. General C.C. Augur, commanding officer of the Department of the Platte, decided to establish a troop station at Sidney. During the 1880's it became apparent there was no longer a need to continue Fort Sidney as a military post. These two structures, along with a 1872 Powder Magazine remain.
