If you came to the Dakotas in search of Native Americans this is a perfect stop. Not too much walking to step inside recreated Mandan Earthlodges and see what life was like. It costs $5 per vehicle to enter Ft. Abraham Lincoln State Park where this village is located. For an extra $6 per adult (uncertain of child costs) you... More

Each shared information from agriculture, hunting, and daily living. I thought it was the perfect amount... More

Explained the history how up to 90% of the original population of this village... More
