HISTORY
19 April 2010
The original installation was constructed from 1820-1824 as Fort St. Anthony. It received its name upon its completion in 1825 in honor of Colonel Snelling, who commanded the regiment that built it.

Really awesome day out, great views, lovely staff, very good explanations of what the fort was for etc. Especially good talk from on the local native american population and "indian wars".

Little House on the Prairie is excellent! Four days packed with authentic pioneer life straight out of the Little House books.

Historic Fort Snelling is a Twin Cities treasure, located just a few minutes away from the airport.

So much more to do and see than expected. Go early and bring sunglasses on a sunny day.

A cool piece of History tucked right into the twin cities.
