In the 1800s Fort Union was alongside the Missouri River and steamboats were a common sight. But the River has changed course since those days and now flows about a mile further away. It's easy to see the old, dry riverbed right next to the Fort. This is an out of the way historical site. It's quiet and peaceful and here you'll hear the whispering of the North Dakota winds. For us Fort Union is very evocative of the early days of the frontier, and WELL WORTH A VISIT.

The staff was very pleasant and greeted us when we walked in.

Keep in mind that this museum incorporates bible teachings and stories in their descriptions. Definitely worth stopping to visit.

So much history along the Missouri River and at this particular spot it meets the Yellow Stone River. The center holds artifacts found in the area and explains how important this area was at the time for the fur trade. There's also many picturesque locations along the trails you can take. You can bring a picnic sit at the picnic area next to the center. I am sad to say I took pictures of the Buford Fort area but I did not get out. The mosquitos were just relentless here so if you come here bring mosquitos spray. I must say also that the signage for Fort Buford could use some refreshing. Note: there is primitive camping sites and the Fort also has a cemetery that soldiers are still resting there. Lovely to visit that as well.
