Fort Laramie is a historic site in southeastern Wyoming, which originally started as a private fur trading fort in the 1830s before becoming a key U.S. military post on the Western frontier. It's rich in history, having played a pivotal role during the westward expansion and serving as a significant location in various treaties between the United States and Native American tribes. The site now features restored buildings and museum exhibits that highlight its multifaceted past.
Flying a Drone at Fort Laramie:1. Is it worth flying a drone there? - Aesthetic Value: The fort's historical buildings and the surrounding natural landscape can provide some captivating aerial footage. However, this appreciation is subjective and depends on individual interest in historical sites and natural scenery. 2. Am I legally allowed to fly a drone there? - National Park Service (NPS) Regulations: Fort Laramie is a National Historic Site managed by the National Park Service. As a general rule, the NPS prohibits the launching, landing, or operating of drones from or on lands and waters administered by the NPS, without prior written approval. Therefore, recreational drone use is not allowed at Fort Laramie without obtaining special permits.3. Do I need LAANC authorization? - LAANC Authorization: Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) is applicable to controlled airspace around airports. Since Fort Laramie is not typically located near controlled airspace, LAANC authorization is generally unnecessary for this location. However, always check current airspace maps to ensure there are no temporary or updated restrictions.4. Anything else I need to know? - Permits and Special Use Authorizations: If you have a specific project that may justify drone use (e.g., commercial filming or research), you would need to apply for a special use permit from the National Park Service. These are typically issued for professional, commercial, or academic purposes and are subject to strict guidelines. - Local Regulations: Be sure to check if there are any state or local regulations that may also impact drone use. - Safety and Environmental Concerns: Always consider the impact of your drone on wildlife and visitors. Drones can be disturbing to both wildlife and people seeking a peaceful experience. - Drone Registration: Ensure your drone is registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds.In summary, while Fort Laramie offers visually and historically rich opportunities, flying a drone there for recreational purposes is prohibited under NPS regulations. For special purposes, you'll need to navigate the permit process with the NPS to gain authorization. Always remain informed about airspace regulations and any other pertinent restrictions.Fort Laramie National Historic Site, 965 Grey Rocks Road, Fort Laramie, WY 82212, USA
