Fort Snelling

Fort Snelling Today

In 1966, the Minnesota Historical Society began restoration work on Fort Snelling to improve its fading condition and preserve what was left of the site. During this time the site was converted into an educational establishment that today acts as one of Minnesota's most popular tourist and student field trip destinations. However, interpretation at the site focuses primarily on Fort Snelling in the 1820s, long before the events of the Us-Dakota War occurred.
