1828-1867 - Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site North Dakota
Fort Union Trading Post was established in 1828 by John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company. This was not a government or military post, but a business, established for the specific purpose of trading with the northern plains tribes.
Located at the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers on the North Dakota/Montana border, the fort was originally called Fort Henry. For the next four decades, Fort Union would serve as the headquarters of the Upper Missouri Outfit (U.M.O.) of the American Fur Company.
The most important fur trading post on the upper Missouri River, Fort Union controlled the bison robe and fur trade over a huge area encompassing what are now North and South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming from 1828 to 1867.
Here, Assiniboine, Crow, Cree, Ojibway, Blackfoot, Hidatsa, Mandan, and other tribes traded buffalo robes and other furs for trade goods such as beads, guns, blankets, knives, cookware, and cloth.
During its heydays the trading post employed as many as 200 people, mostly Métis Indians, of French and Native American ancestry.
Keelboat in 1872 The rivers were the main source of travel for the fur traders, primarily utilizing keel boats until 1832 when the first steamboat, the Yellowstone landed here. Mackinaw boats were another form of travel made by the workers of the fort and bull boats, constructed by the tribes out of a green buffalo hide and willow, were also used.
In 1867, Fort Union was sold to the U.S. Army and the post was razed. Its building materials were used to construct Fort Buford about two miles away.

Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park
Buffalo Bill in North Platte Nebraska
Buffalo Bill called North Platte home for more than 40 years. His Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders was started here in our own Cody Park as the Old Glory Blowout in 1882, which also gave birth to the modern spectator sport of Rodeo. Today the headquarters of his huge ranching empire is preserved as a state historical park by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. His mansion and barn have been wonderfully restored and are filled with Cody and Wild West show memorabilia. You can also tour a log cabin that served as a line shack on the far north reaches of the ranch along the Dismal River.

Nebraska 2016 Gothenburg I 80 exit 211
Travels around Gothenburg, we checked out the Pony Express station, downtown and the Sod House museum. The pony express station was still open when we got there and the people working were very nice and answered any questions we had there was a gift shop and we bought the local 4-H cook book. The Sod House museum was closed when we arrived, might have been interesting though, so if you find yourself in the area check it out.
