Next to the Broadway quality Post Playhouse shows, the Hayrack Breakfast is the best event at Ft. Robinson. I have been on two morning trips, August 2011 and August 2013, up to the buttes and have enjoyed every minute.
any history buff interested in the era of the Indian Wars of the 1860's and 1870's ought to visit Fort Robinson state park. It is the site of the assassination of famed Lakota warrior Crazy Horse as well as the tragic finale of the Cheyenne Exodus in January 1879
We stopped in mid-October on a Black Hills road trip. Most of the park closes down after the Labor Day holiday. Not a lot of the buildings were open. Interesting place to drive and walk through, especially considering the history of the fort. Would have loved to spend more time and really looked around. Would be nice if some of the buildings were open, even if no tour guides are available.
I do have to say that lady at the desk seemed kind of rude. Apparently helping tourists is not her policy.
We booked a site in the Campground. We were the only ones there. Huge trees with lots of squirrels. We were told the water was still on in the Campground however it was turned off. We had two horses and the barn facilities were very nice. Trails were good but not really well marked. Showers had lots of bugs, assume it was that time of year. A ton of history here and we really enjoyed walking around the different buildings (even though they were closed for the season). People were very friendly.
Part of the facility was closed for the season, but the rest was great and the people are very nice!
We love this old, historic park where soldiers used to fight against the Indians. The old barracks, store, etc. are still there and have been restored. People and family reunions can stay in the park IN the different houses depending on how big your group is! It cost, of course, but it is a fun place to stay. There is horse back riding, hay rides out to a bar-b-que and show, horseshoes, a playhouse and much more. The restaurant there is good and boasts buffalo burgers. There is also a nice museum in the middle and a monument to Crazy Horse. It is close to the cute little town of Crawford, Nebraska.
