About

Fort Alexandria is a replica of the original fort commissioned in 1862 to provide protection from the Dakota Indian upraising during the Civil War. The original buildings were all moved to help create the feel of the fort and include a log general store, log cabin, one-room school house, the Miltona Stage Coach Stop, church, blacksmith shop, smokehouse, laundry, and a large agricultural building with additional exhibits.
