This library has a lot to offer. They seem to always be running special events and the outdoor play…read morespace for kids is impressive. I like the flow of the place, and I think it's a good library to spend time in. I used to live in Garden, but I now live in Austin. This library is certainly better than some of local branches we have throughout the city.

We were here today and it's a neat little place to walk around. You can't enter any of the…read morebuildings, but there are markers explaining the area. You will spend about thirty minutes total and I highly recommend it.

Must see for history buffs. You know why, the general population will think you crazy…read more.. The firt itself is gone. I was hoping to see a wooden structure with all its glory and warscars... But no wood was used so the fort was trenches and mudhuts... This town/village houses 160 people and some government military institutions as the name changed to the Kansas Soldierss' Home back in 1890!!! The fort was built in 1865 to protect pioneers traversing the santa fe trail heading to the southwest (new mexico territories). All skirmishes westward would besed in fort dodge since 900 miles north or south would get you close to canada and mejico. Plus this is 1300 miles from disneyland! Basically the "Plain" Indian campaigns were based from here. Needless to say it took five or so years to handle the Comanche and Kiowa tribes (im not trivializing genocide). The fort left all indian skirmishes to small raids rather than battles. General Custer was based here and his home is a museum now. Although the fort had a short life span, this spot was super important with manifest destiny post civil war. And yes, western kansas was confederate but so far out, western kansas had little influence for the civil war. Forts started popping up in surrounding areas, thanks to railroad expansion thus leading to firt dodge's limited lifespan. Fyi. Everything closed on sunday. I missed the museum :/
