'''Fort Ellis (1867-1886)''' - Fort Ellis was established 27 Aug 1867 by Captain R. S. LaMotte and three companies of the [[13th U.S. Infantry]] and was named for Colonel [[Augustus Van Horne Ellis]] who was killed 2 Jul 1863 at Gettysburg.¹ The fort protected settlers in the Gallatin valley from hostile Indians.
==Fort Ellis History==
The fort was located just south of the Gallatin River and about 3.5 miles from present day Bozeman, Montana. Lieutenant Gustavus C. Doane, [[2nd U.S. Cavalry]], was stationed at Fort Ellis when he explored the now Yellowstone National Park.
The fort was decommissioned in 1886.
==Current Status==
Very few remains are left at the actual site, now occupied by the Fort Ellis Experimental Station of Montana State University.
