Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park
Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park sits along the Missouri River near Mandan and blends military history with Native American history. It has a rebuilt frontier fort and reconstructed earthlodge homes.
It is famous as the last home base of General Custer and as the On-A-Slant Mandan village. Visitors love touring the old houses, climbing into earthlodges, and learning stories from the past.
History
The park tells the story of the Mandan people who lived here long ago and of the soldiers who came later. Guides in old-time clothing help history feel real and exciting.
Earthlodges
You can step inside round earthlodges built from wood and soil, just like the Mandan homes of the past. It feels cool and quiet inside these clever dome-shaped houses.
Outdoor fun
The park has trails, camping spots, and lovely views of the wide Missouri River. Families can bike, picnic, and watch for birds along the water.
