Fort Phil Kearny is open for visitation 

State Parks Site Superintendent Sharie Shada said there has been some confusion from a few visitors as to whether or not Fort Phil Kearny is open and accepting visitors. 

The Interpretive Center at the Wyoming State historical site is currently under construction. The center is undergoing a 2,000 ft. expansion to better serve the increasing visitation numbers. 

Shada said some visitors have stopped into the center asking if they are open or closed due to the work being done on the building.
