Fort Snelling

Fort Snelling, located in Maple Grove, MN, is a historical site that played a crucial role in shaping the state of Minnesota as we know it today. It was first built in the early 1820s by the United States Army to establish a presence in the region following the Louisiana Purchase.

Over the years, Fort Snelling served as a military base, an Indian Agency, and a fur trading post. The fort and its surroundings witnessed important events such as the expansion of the United States into the Northwest, the inclusion of Minnesota as a territory, and the US-Dakota War of 1862. It also served as a training center for soldiers during World War I and II.

Today, tourists and visitors can explore the fort and its exhibits, which showcase the life and culture of the Dakota and Ojibwe people who lived in the area. They can also learn about the role of the fort in the fur and trading industries and its ties to the military. Fort Snelling is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history of Minnesota and the story of its early inhabitants.
