Lantern Tour and Ghost Stories from Historic Fort Sisseton, South Dakota

June 9, 8:45 p.m. on ZOOM

Ever wonder what Fort Sisseton looked like at night without electricity? Ever wonder if it was haunted by ghost? See Fort Sisseton in a different light by joining us for a Zoom (Virtual) Lantern Tour of the buildings. Listen to the history of the Fort from a first person view point as you travel from building to building. Who knows, you might even hear some stories about those who might remain....

More details about the Historic Fort:
Named after the nearby Sisseton Indian Tribe, this historic fort is now a picturesque state park that unfolds the area's past. Walk the grounds where the officers' quarters, stone barracks, powder magazine, guard house, and other buildings that remain from the time of the western frontier.

This 1864 fort, atop the Coteau des Prairies (or hills of the prairies), was originally a frontier army outpost called Fort Wadsworth. The site was chosen because it provided a strong natural defense, an ample supply of lime and clay for making bricks, an abundance of lake water for drinking and a thick stand of trees for timber and fuel.
