Camp Release State Monument, Historical monument in Montevideo, United States.

The Camp Release State Monument stands on a six-acre memorial wayside near Highway 212, featuring inscriptions on all four sides of its granite structure.

In September 1862, this location marked the surrender of Dakota people and the release of 269 captives following the Battle of Wood Lake.

The monument includes inscriptions detailing battles along the Minnesota River and recognizes the actions of both military forces and Dakota peace factions.

Visitors can reach the monument by taking Highway 212 to the edge of Montevideo, where information boards explain the historical context.

This monument became the first property added to the Minnesota state park system and received National Register of Historic Places status in 1973.
