I have several more pictures of Fort Reno. It really was quite interesting. But I will make them a separate post since it has very little to do with Route 66 (and this post is too long already as it is!!). If you really must know, the sign says: Fort Reno - Old post about 2 mi. N. - U. S. troops encamped near Cheyenne Agency in Indian uprising of 1874. Site s.w. of Agency selected by Agt. J. D. Miles and Capt. T. Wint, established as a permanent post, in July, 1875 and named for Gen. Jesse L. Reno who died in action in the battle of Antietam. Post abandoned Feb. 24, 1908. Post was U. S. remount station to 1949.
