Roop's Fort, the oldest structure in Susanville, California, was originally established as a trading post by Isaac N. Roop in 1853 and transformed into a fortified blockhouse in 1854. Today, it serves as the William H. Pratt Memorial Museum, showcasing the rich history of the region and its pivotal role in the Sagebrush War of 1863.
The fort, originally known as Roop's House, marked a vital stopping point for emigrants on the Nobles Emigrant Trail, providing essential provisions as they journeyed toward the Northern California gold mines. Registered as Landmark No. 76 by the California State Historical Resources Commission, Roop's Fort remains a significant testament to the area's early governance and territorial disputes.
