Additional Description: You are looking at the only original structure, which has survived from the fort's original days to the present. This was the fort guardhouse. The first room to your left was where the Officer of The Day worked. The middle room was a rest area for guads and the far door let to the actual lockup cells. Discipline was harsh on these frontier forts and hard labor with a ball and chain was common. Later the Braeutigam family remodeled this structure and they used this as their home for over 80 years.
