Post subject:  Fort Snelling, MN / Aug7-9

Ft. Snelling is where Co. L, 1st USSS and Co. A, 2nd USSS were mustered.
In the past we have been allowed to sleep in the original barracks inside of the fort. This is a very nice facility with a modern interpretation center, museum, and gift shop!

In Minnesota in 1862-63, volunteers were also called upon to fight the Dakota who went to war as the result of food shortages and broken promises of treaty payments.

Other activities throughout the weekend include costumed staff, artifact displays, weapon firing demonstrations, Civil War reenactors, crafts and dance.
