Our family visited the remains of Fort Ridgely near in Southwestern Minnesota recently, along with the original site where the nearby Birch Coulee battle took place in 1862. Both are rich pieces of history that recorded the fighting between settlers and Native Americans at that time. Remember, this was about the time of the Civil War. Nevertheless, we had a great time. I strongly recommend anyone to visit these old forts and other monuments (another is Camp Release on the western side of Montevideo).
