Fort Blair Blockhouse

This is a replication of the blockhouse which records tell us was in the center of the encampment. The original blockhouse measured 16 feet square and was constructed of logs. It was built to store equipment and supplies. Reports indicate that it was used as an infirmary to care for the injured after the attack.

Marker is on 6th Street near Military Avenue (U.S. 69), on the right when traveling east.
