Relive 1875 at Fort Abraham Lincoln, where history comes to life. Visit the home of General George and Libbie Custer at Cavalry Square, where their staff still entertain guests, telling the stories of Libbie and the general and the time they spent in Dakota Territory. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from June 20 to August 10, enjoy a night at the melodrama theater in the Granary along with the Fort Lincoln Players.
The hill above Fort Abraham Lincoln provides great views of the Missouri Valley with blockhouses standing guard over the fort. The On-a-Slant Indian Village has replicas of rebuilt Mandan earthlodges on the site of an ancient village. Visit the Museum that houses the nation’s best display on the Mandan Indians, exhibits on Lewis & Clark and General Custer artifacts. |
