The Park offers many historical exhibits. One, dates to the time in 1919 when the fort served as remount depot for the Army’s horses and mules.
The operating room in the veterinary hospital still houses equine equipment.
Fort Robinson is also home to the Trailside Museum of the University of Nebraska.
This museum is home for the fossilized skeletons of two Columbia mammoths whose complementary broken tusks became entangled, resulting in the death of both animals.

Sure you don’t want to trade the cat for me? I’m enjoying your posts.

We would trade the cat for you in a heartbeat! You are much easier to live with, cook better, are lots more fun and don’t shed. I’m not sure how good a babysitter Kaela would be in your place, tho.
