The Fort Sidney Complex includes the Post Commanders Home built in 1871, a Double-Set Married Officers Quarters, which now houses the Cheyenne County Museum, built in 1884, and the 1872 Powder House, all located now in a residential area of the town. To the southeast are the remains of the fort's rifle range. The Fort Sidney Powder House is an octagonal rock building that was the post powder magazine later made into a bedroom for the house to which it is now attached. The buildings have been restored and refurnished with authentic articles of the late 1800s by the Cheyenne County Historical Associated and are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
