  • We explore Fort Totten as one of the best preserved military posts in America. Built between 1867 to 1873, this historic fort later served as a boarding school for Indian children, a tuberculosis preventorium, and finally, a community school. Now it is a State Historic Site.
    One of the officers’ quarters has been converted into an inn, and you can even spend the night in one of the ten-period rooms.

    Amazing video - thanks. The classroom brought back memories. At school in the 1940s - 50s, we had desks with inkwells (UK); we had dip-in pens, which made good darts. We also dipped wads of blotting paper in the inkwells and flick them at people with a wooden ruler. Sometimes we would put calcium carbide in the wells, which caused the ink to foam and you could set fire to the generated acetylene gas. Good old days! Thanks again Steve and Andrea.

    That was absolutely amazing. A brief, but awesome explore of out past. I'm with Steve on that dress Andrea. Can you imagine how long it must have taken to put it on? Poor Steve, i wonder.....Once many, many years ago, before my daughters were born, their mom was complaining that with twins we needed a bigger washer and drier. Well, that summer was her birthday and i decided to get her one. But of course Richard being Richard i had to make it a memorial occasion. Quietly i went down to the local appliance store and picked it out and set up the delivery date. They had washboards, tubs, clothes lines, even them new fancy big wooden alligator clips. So Richard being Richard, set it up. The timing was perfect. She was home and i was just pulling in the lane when that big delivery truck pulled in. Excitedly she ran to the truck and the boys told her they had a washer and drier deliver for her, and well, "Where do you want them ma'am?" She takes them in the house and this gives me time to get a photo bomb set up. Out the door they came, a huge smile on her face. Soon there's the sound of huffing and puffing, rattling and shaking and out the door they came with.........yep, you guessed it. The Super size scrub board, and the largest tub they had. The moment was shock and confusion, the look......priceless. They even tossed the clothes line and them big, wooden alligator clips at her feet. The color her face went, and her smile soon left as they carried everything into the house and began to go through the "instruction for use" terms and conditions. While they had her in the house my brother and i unloaded the real McCoy or wait i think it was a "Maytag". And guys and gals....I tagged her that day. Unforgettable! True story. Bet y'all are glad you're not up there today. 24-36 inches of snow. Brrr

    Steven, you are so right! Another wonderful place in North Dakota! During my Tuesday lunches I have visited so many grand sites in this state I know so little about. Thanks! Suggest you put some pins in your atlas for Nebraska. Lincoln - capitol housing the 1 and only unicameral in the US. And, where I live. Come by for lunch sometime. Gothenburg - Pony Express Station. Beatrice - Homestead Monument. Scott's Bluff and Chimney Rock in western Nebraska. Seward - the 4th of July town. Omaha - too much for this already too long comment. Fit us in when you can. Really enjoy traveling with you 2 and learning!

The kids there were just taken away from their parents and abused by beating and forced work . The Ice house where they were abused still has the names that the young girls scratched there . :)
