Fort Mandan, Historic fort site along Missouri River, North Dakota.
The reconstructed Fort Mandan stands near the Missouri River, featuring wooden walls, barracks, storage rooms, and meeting spaces for expedition members.
Lewis and Clark constructed Fort Mandan in 1804 as their winter headquarters during the expedition, establishing connections with nearby Mandan and Hidatsa tribes.
Fort Mandan became a central point for trade and diplomatic relations between European explorers and Native American communities during the early 19th century.
The interpretive center provides guided tours through the fort complex, displays period artifacts, and offers educational programs about the Lewis and Clark expedition.
During the winter of 1804-1805, expedition members at Fort Mandan recorded temperatures reaching minus 40 degrees while documenting local wildlife and geography.
