Welcome

We are dedicated to the Preservation of the Historic and Natural Values of the Fort Snelling Area.

The Friends of Fort Snelling, a non-profit citizens organization, was established as the Fort Snelling State Park Association in 1961. The Association was the key organization in establishing Fort Snelling State Park and preserving Historic Fort Snelling.

We just updated our website and have added many new features, including photo galleries, an interactive map, and a timeline.
