Riding Fort Gibson Historic site
I am a fan of American history. Anytime I have a chance to ride to a
historic site I jump on my motorsickle and head for the Oklahoma back
roads. Riding Fort Gibson Lake area is always a treat, especially if I get to
ride near old Fort Gibson.
Fort Gibson guarded the American frontier from 1824 until 1888. When
built, it lay farther west then any other military post in the United States. It
successfully maintained peace and protected the southwestern border of
the Louisiana Purchase for more than fifty years.
