Fort Robinson State Park is 22,000 acres of fun. History from all eras
combine with a variety of recreational activities to make this one
Nebraska's largest and most historic state park. Like many of the forts
in this area of the state, Fort Robinson was established as a military
post as an Indian Agency protective post in 1874. The fort remained
active until 1948. During this time, the fort has seen a wide range of
historical events. The fort guarded the Red Cloud Agency from
1874-1877. Crazy Horse, the victor in the Battle of the Little Big
Horn, was bayoneted at Fort Robinson shortly after he had been arrested
and taken there as a prisoner. In 1890s the Buffalo Soldiers were
stationed at the fort. It also housed WWII German POW's from 1943-1946.
Beginning in the fall of 1942, K-9 Corps reception and training center
was established at the fort where some 14,000 dogs were trained for the
army, navy, coast guard, and civilian agencies.

Today there are many activities that you can enjoy. Horseback riding or
hiking in the Pine Ridge area is a great look at the Nebraska panhandle
outdoors. Jeep rides, stagecoach rides, and a ride on the Tour Train
will all give you a feel for the park. The ponds throughout the park
offer opportunities to go fishing. Historic buildings and museums
through the park give visitors a glimpse into the colorful history of
the area and park.
