We visited Fort Totten at the end of june while touring northern North Dakota. There is a lot of information in the buildings at the fort. It is a rather remote area so it is very peaceful. There is an inn with overnight accomodations. No tour guides were there on our visit but we were able to go into many of the buildings

The visitors center is where you need to stop first to get the history of the fort. It will amaze you what role it played in history. The buildings on the premises are in great shape on the outside and you can see they are trying to get the insides refurbished to the time period but it will take a while. But i really liked it. If you have ever been to Fort Apache in AZ it is very similar. I would suggest stopping

It's had museums and quite a bit of history. Fort Totten State Historic Sitesite eventssite exhibitssite historypage 1page 2images & resourcesLocated on the southeastern edge of the town of Fort Totten, this site preserves a military post built in 1867 and used continuously as a military reservation until 1890 when it became a boarding school for Indian children. The brick buildings, which replaced an earlier log fort, appear much as they did when built of locally made brick in 1868. Original buildings are now being used to house museum exhibits.Fort Totten served American Indian policy from 1867 to 1959. Constructed as a military post, it became an Indian boarding school, Indian health care facility, and a reservation school. Initially, the fort policed the surrounding reservation. The soldiers enforced the peace, guarded overland transportation routes, and aided Dakota (Sioux) who lived near Devils Lake after 1867. Fort Totten was decommissioned in 1890.On January 5th, 1891 the former post became the property of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The post served as an Indian boarding school until 1959. Academic and vocational training prepared Indian youth for life off the reservation. Enrollment sometimes topped 400. After independent tribal government was established, a community school operated in the buildings from 1940 to 1959.Fort Totten became a North Dakota State Historic Site in 1960 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

We usually go walk through the pioneer daughters and odd fellows things once a year and they always change something. Fort Totten Little Theater Always puts on a good show during the summer months. The show has not been moved to town until the road construction is done.

Fort Totten is more interesting because of the two different institutions that existed here and the combining of area collectables in multiple parts that provides a multiple museum experience. It was first a military barracks in the post civil war era of western expansion. More information is provided on the turn of the century era when the buildings served as an re-education center for the local indians. But the most surprising thing was the additional displays in some of the multiple buildings, all of which one can walk through, of 19th to 20th century items from a general goods store and a "Daughters of Pioneers" Museum. Additionally there is an onsite B&B that you can stay with reservations.For the entry fee of $5 a person it makes a worthwhile stop when staying in the Devils Lake area.
