Fort Sherman -  Big Hanks Cabin - The Convent Bell

Fort Sherman (1) (1878-1900) - A Federal post first established as Camp Coeur d'Alene on 16 Apr 1878 by Ltc. Henry Clay Merriam, 2nd U.S. Infantry. Named Fort Coeur d'Alene on 5 Apr 1879 and Fort Sherman in G.O. 30, 6 Apr 1887, after General William T. Sherman. Abandoned in 1900.


The Fort Sherman Chapel is Coeur d’Alene’s oldest church, school, library and meeting hall.  Fort Sherman was abandoned in 1900 and the buildings and property sold at public auction in 1905. Developers bought what is today known as the Sherman Park Addition, which included the Chapel. Over the years many denominations used the Chapel for church services. Concerted effort began in 1934 to preserve the Chapel. In 1942 The Athletic Round Table held the Chapel in trust and began repairs of the structure. To ensure the preservation of Coeur d’Alene’s oldest standing building, the A.R.T. d
onated the Chapel to the Museum of North Idaho in 1984.

I tried to find more info on this but I came up empty.  I didn't do any videos this day, as we just walked the campus.  I did however take pictures! Maybe you can share some more information? Next road trip through North Idaho I will do a video of all of this and the North Idaho College campus!
