Fort to Be Abandoned in Yellowstone Park History
In Yellowstone National Park near Mammoth Hot Springs the old fort and barracks are being abandoned as the government plans to replace with modern facilities. The site, once a frontier fortress and battle area, now serves park police amid civilian guards. A separate note threat case in Park County led to a sheriff’s trap after a demand for $2000 in small bills was ignored.
