This is a premier national historical landmark on par with the Custer Battlefield site in Montana. It is an accurate portrayal of this fur trading post that played such an important role in the fur trade in the Upper Missouri region during the 19th century. It is beautifully reconstructed and the surrounding scenery is much like it was then. If you love American history you will love Fort Union! It's well worth a visit! And if you come be sure to also visit Fort Buford and the Confluence Center Museum nearby!!!
Very neat historic place, the rangers dressed in period clothing do a great job at telling the story of the American Fur Company. The flintlock firing demonstrations are awesome, and if you are there at the right time they even fire off a cannon!
Really interesting site. Trail to the river was an added bonus. Lots of historic information, knowledgeable staff.
Partially reconstructed major trading site. Reconstruction is well done based on major archeological work and photo evidence. I highly recommend!
Definitely a must-visit for any history buff or anyone who wants to learn about the most important and longest-lasting fur trading post in the US. Walk among the reconstructed trading post, interact with knowledgeable rangers and staff, and take the time to fully immerse yourself in this historic park unit. Sure, it’s out of the way of a lot of things, but it’s definitely worth the trip to taste this piece of American history.
