Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site, a landmark of American military history, is a deeply fitting point of reflection just 16 miles to the north. The Wyoming Veterans' Skilled Nursing Facility provides 24-hour skilled nursing care, individualized care planning, therapy coordination, and long-term residential services tailored specifically to veteran residents.
