Fort Snelling State Park.

This weekend we thought, it would be a good idea, to visit one of the State Parks in our backyard. We heading off to, Fort Snelling. Now if you have ever flown it the Minneapolis Airport, there is a good chance you have flown right over it. But if you fly like my sister Bonnie, you have your eyes closed at this time. Follow this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Snelling_State_Park to learn more about the history of the park and the region.

And since we where in the area, we might as well visit Fort Snelling at the same time. We have visited, several Forts, and this one is at the top of the list. If you are in the Minneapolis area, you need to stop.Drop those off at the Mall of America that want to shop, and you can go visit the Fort. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Snelling
