Originally built in 1819, this impressive collection of buildings of native limestone was designated Minnesota's first National Historic Landmark. For 30 years after it was built, the fort was the hub of the upper Mississippi, providing a gathering place for Native Americans, fur traders and settlers. Today, you can hike, bike, ski, fish, canoe or just take in nature. The park also hosts numerous events.
