The Fort Phil Kearny Bozeman Trail Association and Wyoming State Parks and Historic Sites will present a number of programs during the weekend of June 20-22, 2008. The theme of this year’s Bozeman Trail Days is the 140th Anniversary of the 1868 Treaty, as well as the closing of the Bozeman Trail and the forts along the Trail that resulted from that treaty.
Programs will include a symposium, living history programs, and walking tours of Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site. The size of Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site was recently increased from 19 acres to over 700 acres, which will allow for walking tours to a number of previously inaccessible sites.

Other recreational activities such as hiking, fishing and hunting are also being expanded, and information on these opportunities will be available during the Bozeman Trail Days events. Information will also be available about the Wagon Box Fight tour in August and the Fetterman Battlefield tour in December.

Bozeman Trail Days is a partnership of the Fort Phil Kearny/Bozeman Trail Association, Kearny’s Frontier Regulars and Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site.
