Fort Abraham Lincoln

Today we checked out the attractions Fort Abraham Lincoln Park.  The Mandan Indians lived on this site before the fort was built in earth lodges at the On-a-Slant Village.

This fawn came out of the woods and we thought he was going to join the tour.










Next we visited Gen. George Custer's home at Ft. Abraham Lincoln. 






He was stationed  at the fort when the 7th Cavalry was ordered to pursue the Indians and eventually ended up at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in Montana.













The blockhouses offered a good view of the Missouri River.









View from the top of the blockhouse.  We are camped in the trees by the river.


The Post Cemetery was an interesting part of the site.  Some things don't change. 
I still spend a lot of time in cemeteries.
