National Historic Landmark-Fort Gibson

Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole Indians removed from the Southeast by the Government were brought here between 1824 and 1840.

The fort was abandoned in 1857 and turned over to the Cherokee Nation.

During the Civil War, it was reoccupied by Federal forces until it was abandoned as a military post in 1890 and reverted to the Cherokee Nation
