FORT SISSETON: FRONTIER LIFE

Annually, during the first weekend in June, a historical festival is staged at Fort Sisseton. Each year, cavalry troops and infantry units converge on the Fort's grounds to form a military encampment. Muzzleloaders meet amidst a teepee encampment and dozens of lodges and traders. Just like an old time rendezvous, colorful costumes, tall tales and unique system of bartering, help bring history alive. The Festival covers the whole gamut of frontier life and settlement. It includes fiddle music, medicine shows, an art and craft show. Native American Cultural Programs, songs and music from the Civil War, period dance instruction classes, living history demonstration, and a military costume ball. The Festival is truly an event the whole family can enjoy.
