The small museum houses some interesting artifacts. The size of the Fort is impressive. You can sit and imagine what life must have been. Unfortunately few of the buildings are open. That was disappointing. I suspect when they have living history demonstrations they are impressive. At other times it is a good short stop if it isn't out of your way.

Awesome place to step back into time and see how the early settlers lived in Nebraska. If you can, look for when they are doing the Living History show. Great group of volunteers put on a wonderful and informative show. They also do candlelight tours once in a while.

What a fantastic place to visit and learn about the history of Fort Atkinson. Make sure you stop by on a living history weekend and watch the reenactors. They do a great job in creating working 1820's military fort. They have the military soldiers, tin smith, black smith, broom maker, spinning and weavers, school teacher, sutler store and much more. This awesome place to stop and explore. Many historical buildings and a great visitor center. Stop by and learn about Lewis and Clark and the Fort and its History.
