Historic Fort Snelling

Burnsville Travel Guide
One of the most notable features of Fort Snelling is its location at the junction of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. This strategic position made it a key post for controlling river traffic and maintaining peace between Native American tribes in the area. The fort also played a significant role in the settlement of the western frontier, housing soldiers who protected travelers and settlers from potential attacks. It was also used as a training ground for soldiers during the Civil War and both World Wars.

As visitors tour the fort, they can gain a better understanding of the daily life and challenges faced by soldiers and civilians at that time. The site features exhibits, demonstrations, and interactive programs that bring the history of Fort Snelling to life. From its early days as a trading post to its role in shaping the nation, this landmark is a must-visit for anyone interested in American history and the story of how the United States came to be.
