“Revisit the Civil War to World War II!”
Built in the early 1820s, Historic Fort Snelling is a great place to learn about military history from before the Civil War through World War II, Minnesota's fur trade, slavery in the North, the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862, and much more! Its location – at the junction of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers – has been significant for centuries to many American Indians.
We did self guided and jumped in with some school groups on the things we wanted to learn more about, which was highly encouraged by staff. Staff was very helpful and were able to answer every question we asked about the fort.
