Built in 1853 as a police station to keep peace as settlers poured into the former Dakota lands, it withstood several attacks in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 and became a training ground for Civil War recruits.
Fort Ridgely is part of the MInnesota Historical Society's network of 26 historic sites and museums.
