Fort Gibson Historic Site

I am so glad that we got to visit the 200th anniversary at Ft. Gibson. I especially enjoyed the folks who were reenacting people and activities common in Ft. Gibson history.

A very interesting place. Must stop in and tour. Self guided tours so you can take your time. They still bake bread in their amazing bakery on certain days. There is a gift shop. Family friendly and just a lot of history.

Nice fort to visit in eastern part of Oklahoma. It has multiple areas to visit. Main fort area that has parking, which extends with a few more buildings and a couple chimneys. Further up the road about 1 mile is the museum with a few more buildings including the first school for the blind of OK, a bakery and a building in ruins. A few miles more and you get to the dam too! Worth the stop!

If you're into frontier historical forts this should be pinned on your map. The Fort has two distinct sections. The lower quadrangle has the main post with the barracks, brig, Commander's quarters, etc. The upper section has a five or so original stone buildings. Enough displays to keep you engaged, but not so many to as to be overwhelming. Various artifacts to see on the grounds as well. The Fort supports various events throughout the year so check out the website for more info. I also enjoyed the old downtown Ft Gibson, the former road bridge (next to train trestle off wooden fort) and the National Cemetery.

We visited in late January and were the only ones there. Got lots of attention from the ladies in the museum. haha We really enjoyed seeing the old reconstructed fort and the "newer" stone buildings. The history was really compelling and you could almost imagine what it would have been like back then.

An Awesomely beautiful place now
My great ancestors met there,and I get to walk where they walked,look where they looked pretty amazing. And I got real lucky and work there❤❤😁😁
Check it out ,
The 200 anniversary is the 29th ov April🎉🎉

Neat historic site but a lot of it is blocked off due to lack of maintenance. Its sad to see how the structure has deteriorated over the last 30 years.

The people that work and volunteer here really bring history to life. It is very educational

Excellent and important site for not only Oklahoma history, but also US Native American history. This site is a first step in the US policies towards the Native populations as the door to the frontier.

Stopped here to check it out. No one around but ground were open. Found donation box so we place cash there. I wish there were some interpretation signs. Nice to check out though.

This is a great place to learn about American history in Oklahoma. The staff are knowledgeable and kind. The site dates back to 1845 and 1932.

We enjoyed it very much I had never visited an old fort before! It's amazing part of history and the old bridge and the damage were amazing too.

We really liked Mr.Reed. Thank you for having us at the Fort. My family loves to go to these places.

It was a very cool historic site, and a great event for the solar eclipse

Nice place to stop and learn some history.

Been there for 200 years and a must in the early morning before the sun comes up if you'd like to catch a ghost

This place is a treasure. A building built in 1840s, and a recreated fort! So much history- It's truly amazing. The bake day creates heavenly bread! It's wonderful!

Very interesting and informative, way better then expected. Very FRIENDLY staff. Also visited honey springs battle grounds also very interesting . Family had a blast.

I learned so much when we visited. Eventhough you can't go in the submarine, it's still worth a trip there.

A very interesting place of history in the state. There are several small sites in the area with original and restored 19th century architecture.
