A few others we have visited that haven't been mentioned....
Fort Hays in Hays KS - Soldiers names can still be seen carved into the sandstone building walls.
Fort Knox near Bucksport ME (No gold there)
Fort Kearney near Kearney NE - Only a few buildings left, but easy off/easy on from I80.
Fort Mandan north of Bismark ND - Where Lewis & Clark spent the winter of 1804/1805 in their way to the Pacific. The fort is a reconstruction based on diagrams in the Journals of L&C. The original fort burned down before L&C came back in 1806 and the actual location has since been lost to history.
Fort Abraham Lincoln Near Bismark ND - Last station of George Armstrong Custer before going to the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Several reconstructed buildings including the house the Custer family lived in.
Last but definitely not least - Fortress Louisborg on Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia, Canada. An absolutely amazing reconstruction of the fort and town that dates back to the 1700's.
