Fort Sisseton State Park... Originally a frontier army outpost built in 1864, this national historic landmark has been restored. The site of the fort was chosen for providing a strong natural defense, an ample supply of lime and clay for making bricks, an abundance of lake water for drinking and a thick stand of trees for timber and fuel. Guided tours by fort 'soldiers' and others in costume will be available. Hikes will be conducted by Park Rangers. Fort Sisseton State Historical Park Website
