​SCLT Offers Fort Mackenzie Historic District Tour

Join Sheridan Community Land Trust for a guided exploration of one of Sheridan’s most significant historic places, Fort Mackenzie. The tour will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 29, and end around noon. The tour will begin at the Sheridan VA, Parking Lot 7 off Air Force Lane, in front of Building 61 (the auditorium).

First established as a military outpost and later transformed into a veterans hospital, Fort Mackenzie has played an important role in the community for more than 125 years. During this special Explore History Saturday program, participants will discover the district’s rich history, striking architecture, and lasting impact on Sheridan through the eyes of VA Historian Thomas Hatch and VA Patient Advocate Connie Trentacosti, who will lead the tour.

The tour will involve walking outdoors through the Fort Mackenzie District. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.

This Explore History Saturday program is free to attend and open to all.
