| We made a stop at Fort Lincoln,
just southwest of Bismarck North Dakota. The original fort was dismantled,
after it's closing, by residence of Bismarck to build the town. The National
Park Service is slowly, as budget allows, rebuilding the Fort to it's original
state in 1875. What you will find below are mostly shots of the interior
of the 'Custer House' and of the Mandan
Village. |

| We took the tour of the
Custer House given by a local girl named Jennifer. She was dressed in character
and conducted the tour as if it were really 1875 and Colonel 'General'
Custer was not at home. |

Jennifer, pictured in center,
conducted a nice 20 minute or so tour of the house. |

Most of the items were owned
by Custer. |

The Fort is only partially
complete at the time of our visit in August 2000.
I would like to see it again
in 10 years. |

| This Mandan Village was
