Join us for Memorial Day to learn about the expansive military history at Historic Fort Snelling.
The historic fort will be open to explore at your own pace in addition to special events specifically for the holiday. There will be a flag ceremony, cannon firing, swing band performances, a period speech from World War II and a performance by the Fife & Drum Corps. Visitors can also witness the firing of historic rifles from five different eras of the fort’s history.
