“experience an earthen fort firsthand”
The original Fort Curtis was built soon after the Union army occupied Helena in 1862. New Fort Curtis allows visitors to experience an earthen fort firsthand, including the huge 24-pounder guns. Exhibits tell the story of the original fort and this unique reconstruction. Free admission!
Looks like it is currently under construction or deconstruction.
Not the original site but a reproduction. For some reason the gates are locked on weekends and on weekdays after 5; what are they guarding against? It’s a helpful and welcome piece of Helena history but could use some embellishment such as a few more signs … and open doors.
