About FORT SEDGWICK HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Fort Sedgwick Historical Society is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Julesburg, Colorado (EIN 23-7100501) that operates the Fort Sedgwick Museum, Depot Museum and associated local history collections.
The Society preserves and interprets regional history—including the site’s role as a U.S. Army post (Camp Rankin/Fort Sedgwick) and an official Pony Express home station—and maintains museum exhibits, archives and outreach for the local community and visitors.
Museums are staffed by volunteers and operate seasonally with appointment options; the organization has actively pursued conservation and small capital projects in recent years to protect collections and maintain museum buildings.
