What a great experience! Our company had several groups go in and solve, (or try to solve!) the puzzles, unlock answers and more clues, it was a great team building activity and it was also a lot of fun! Some good vibes and excitement from team members after the Escapade Room adventures!

A historic battlefield.
Reviewed By 866TaylorB - Chicago, United States
Fort Phil Kearny was the largest and most celebrated of the three stockaded fortifications along the east side of the Bighorn Mountains on the famous Bozeman Trail. Along with lesser known Fort Reno and Fort C.F. Smith, it was established at the height of the Indian Wars to protect prospective miners traveling the trail north from the Oregon Trail to present-day Montana. Built in 1866 and located in northeastern Wyoming near the present-day town of Story, about 15 miles north of Buffalo, it was named after Major General Philip Kearny, a popular figure in the Civil War. Today, Fort Phil Kearny and the nearby Fetterman and Wagon Box battle site are maintained by the State of Wyoming as the Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. For Phil Kearny features eight-foot high log walls and enclosed an area of 17 acres. The perimeter of the stockade was about 3,900 feet and its construction took more than 4,000 logs. At its peak strength, the garrison numbered 400 troops and 150 civilians, nine officers, a surgeon and 329 enlisted men of five infantry companies. The fort played an important part in Chief Red Cloud's War and the area around the fort was the site of the Fetterman Massacre in 1966 and the Wagon Box Fight in 1867. When the Union Pacific Railroad arrived in 1868, allowing emigrants to reach the Montana gold fields through present-day Idaho and rendering the Bozeman Trail obsolete, all three forts were abandoned. Shortly afterward, Fort Phil Kearny was burned by the Cheyenne Indians. Today, the reconstructed site includes a visitors center with exhibits, videos, a bookstore and self-guided tours of the fort grounds and outlying sites. The tour marks the archeological remains of the fort's buildings. A cabin built by the Civilian Conservation Corps depicts the period quarters of an officer's wife and a non-commissioned officer's quarters. Visitors can also tour the nearby battlefields which are located within a five-mile radius of the visitors center. It is an interesting look into the history of the West, all leading up to a tour of Little Bighorn Battlefield.
