Description: Fort Washita Historic Site 3348 OK- 199 Durant, Oklahoma Access: 24/7. Fort hours: Wed-Sat 9am-4pm, Sun 1pm-4:30pm Fort Washita is the former United States Military Post established in 1842 by General Zachary Taylor to protect citizens of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations from the Plains Indians. It was later abandoned by federal forces at the beginning of the American Civil War, and Confederate troops held the post until the end of the war when they burned the remaining structures. After years in private hands, the Oklahoma Historical Society bought the fort grounds in 1962 and restored the site.
