The Fort is a replica of Sutter's Fort
in Sacramento, CA built in 1940 of adobe bricks by the
government as a depression era project. The well landscaped
grounds are used for weddings and civic events. The building
was originally build to accommodate federal, state, and county
offices and was once used as a birthing center as well as a
Town Hall. The Fort was dedicated on May 22, 1940 and it was
designated a historical landmark by Kern County in 1980. The
complex consists of an auditorium, gazebo, and the McKittrick
jail which was moved to the Fort in 1988
