About Fort Bridger State Historic Site
From October until May the buildings are open by appointment only. Please give at least 24 hours notice, tours available depending on staff availability. The past comes alive through costumed interpreters, museum displays, and a reconstruction of Jim Bridger's trading post. Established by Jim Bridger and Louis Vasquez in 1843 as a emigrant supply stop along the Oregon Trail, it was obtained by the Mormons in the 1850s, and then became a military outpost in 1858. The Fort was abandoned in 1890, most of the wooden structures that remained on fort property were sold and moved off the grounds. In 1933, the property was dedicated as a Wyoming historical landmark. Check out the annual Mountain Man Rendezvous held every Labor Day weekend.

Very interesting site - learned a lot about the history of the area. You do have to do a bit of walking. My only complaint is that they don’t give you a map to use around the large site.
