📚 Proud to support one of our own! We met local author Kelley Slimmon (former Musical Ride & Trading Post team member!) and are the first museum to carry his books. Grab all 4 at the Fort — and stay tuned for Jaxson’s adventure with the NWMP! #Local #FortMuseum #History

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at the Fort Museum. What did the boy goat tell his friend when he saw a past crush? “She’s the one that goat away.” #ValentinesDay #GoatJokes #thefort #GoatLove #nwmpmuseum
