Fort Tibbets

Fort Tibbets was a military fort near Tibbets Prison.

Background
Inmates from the military prison at Fort Tibbets were used in the early construction of the Tibbets Prison, marching three and a half miles to the site daily and returning to the prison at the Fort at night. This continued until February 1903, when the first 418 inmates to occupy the prison site were moved into what now serves as a laundry building. By 1906, all federal prisoners from Fort Tibbets were housed in the new institution, and the prison at Fort Tibbets was returned to the War Department.

Appearances
Fort Tibbets is mentioned only in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 project by Black Isle Studios.
