Fieldtrip to Fort Snelling

Fort Snelling was once the Northern most outpost of the U.S. Army, the fort was accessible only by water or forest trail, making it truly remote. After the 1840's the role of the fort changed from protecting the fur trade to becoming a training center for troops who fought in every major conflict from the Civil War to World War II
