Southwest bastion, National Parks gallery
Summary
Fort Union Trading Post's southwest bastion as seen from the west. This 1980s reconstruction is built on the site where gravel miners in the 1930s discovered the buried bastion foundations from the historic 1828-1867 fort. That discovery led local preservationists to seek the site's protection and eventual designation as a national historic site.
