About Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park
This state park south of Mandan holds two histories on one site. At On-A-Slant Indian Village you step inside six reconstructed earthlodges, including a large Council Lodge, where a Mandan village stood from about 1575. Nearby you tour blockhouses, furnished barracks and the Custer House, home of George and Libbie Custer before 1876. Trails through the hills, a campground and fishing on the Missouri and Heart Rivers fill out a visit.
