This is the mess hall in the cavalry barracks, one of the buildings that has been restored. One of my questions when I saw it was whether the stove was adequate to heat the whole room or whether the men who were seated at the ends of the room were cold during those long, very cold Wyoming winters.
I don't remember the mess hall being this nice when I visited Fort Laramie, but it gives me a good idea about how the men were served. Life was very hard and thank you for reminding me.
