The four corners of the 1874 stockade, long since gone, are marked by historical signs at the Barber County Courthouse (118 E. Washington), People's Bank (121 S. Main; behind the bank on Washington), the Police Department (114 W. 1st), and the school district office (100 E. 1st; between the office and the Presbyterian Church). The stockade, complete with watchtowers and built entirely of native logs, was constructed to protect the area from Indian raids.
