Fort Klamath: A flop

                Fort Klamath from behind the fence

We thought Fort Klamath would be a good stop during a recent Klamath road trip.  The fort was built during the Civil War era and served as a frontier Army outpost.  A few buildings remain, as well as the graves of four Modoc Indians who were executed after the Modoc Indian War of 1872-73.  Unfortunately, the fort was closed upon our arrival and the buildings could only be seen at a distance.  Visitors should check in advance for current operating hours and days.  Normally it is open from Memorial Day through September.  There is no charge for admission.
