Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site

"Interesting place to visit and if you are doing the north unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, its worth considering as an add on. That is how we did it. The fort itself is in good condition and really interesting to see how people lived 200 years ago. One word of caution, bugspray. Especially if you go down by the river."

"Beautiful house! Lots of history here that I never knew about while I lived in Williston and drove by this place practically on a weekly basis. We arrived late to this place so we weren’t able to see the museum they had set up inside the house. So we will be returning next year when we go back up to Williston."

"Loved the story/history here. Park ranger was very nice lady who patiently answered our questions. So glad we went! And, I have another stamp for my passport book!"

"The Fort Union Trading Post National Sight was great. The fort is well presented and beautifully reconstructed. While we were there they had Native dancers from Canada doing a presentation. They were cool but should have been outside the fort. They took up most of the interior and prevented guests from seeing the whole fort. The staff were also great and very friendly. I highly recommend a visit. The sight is two hours north of Medora, one hour from Roosevelt North Unit Park, and maybe an hour and a half or less from Glendive."
