Regarding UMC Indian Mission. This historical marker is part of a series of historical 'T' markers located all around Klamath County and commissioned by the Klamath County Historical Society.
The Fort Klamath reference on the marker is to a former Fort Klamath army post that was located about 4-5 miles north of here. It was built by the government in 1863 for protection of incoming settlers into Klamath County from Indian attacks that were becoming more common at the time. The site is now a museum-park open seasonally during the year. The post was abandoned in the late 1880s.
