Fort Rice, Military fort site near Mandan, United States.
Fort Rice covered 175 square miles along the Missouri River, featuring wooden barriers, guardhouses, barracks, a hospital, and officers' quarters.
General Alfred Sully established Fort Rice in 1864 as a military base to secure transportation routes in the Northern Plains region.
The fort location served as a meeting point between settlers and the Sioux Nation, where treaties were negotiated and signed.
Visitors can observe foundation lines, ground depressions, and Works Progress Administration markers indicating the original fort structure locations.
The first winter at Fort Rice resulted in 81 garrison casualties from scurvy and seven deaths from confrontations with Lakota forces.
