Full Moon Fort CANCELED

Friday and Saturday, October 18 and 19, 2024

Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site

528 Wagon Box Road, Banner, WY 82832

Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site is announcing the cancelation of this year’s Full Moon Fort event, scheduled for October 18 and 19, because of the nearby forest fire and smoke.

“We are disappointed to cancel this popular event, but fort staff and those in the surrounding area are concerned about the Elk Fire burning close by in the Bighorn Mountains. Our neighbors in Story and at the fort’s Wagon Box Fight Site are currently in evacuation advisory areas. Safety is our first priority,” explains Site Superintendent Sharie Shada.

Anyone who has purchased tickets to the event will be receiving a phone call and a full refund. Please look for this event again in October 2025!

Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site is located at 528 Wagon Box Road, in Banner, Wyoming, and is a division of Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources. For more information or directions, visit the website at www.fortphilkearny.com, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/fortphilkearny, or call 307-684-7629.

About - Fort Phil Kearny

Details: Category: Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site

Description:

Fort Phil Kearny witnessed the dramatic events of Red Cloud’s War, 1866-1868. Today, the site encompasses 1000 acres, including Fort grounds, two major battlesites, and rich wildlife habitat.

History:

Ten years prior to the epic Battle of the Little Bighorn (“Custer’s Last Stand”), Fort Phil Kearny soldiers encountered a surprise attack by Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Lakota warriors that devastated the fort and left survivors to bury 81 men in the brutally frigid temperatures of 1866. This, the Battle of the Hundred in the Hand (Fetterman Battle), was the greatest loss of life suffered by the U.S. Army at the hands of a Native force up to that date, and until the Battle of the Little Bighorn, 10 years later.

Historic Battles:

Fetterman Fight \ The Wagon Box Fight
