Historic Fort Snelling will be hosting a screening of the film Reconstruction Deconstructed, a collaborative film production from OMG Studios and the Minnesota Humanities Center. The film aims to shine a light on the most misunderstood period in American History and why it remains critically important to understand today. The event will feature a live musical performance, the film screening, and a community discussion.

Participants will help groom, harness, and prepare horses, then go for a trolley ride on our trails. Our teamsters will be on hand to talk about draft horses and answer questions.
