Old Fort Park

Old Fort Park in Fort Benton, MT, is a site of national significance that has undergone dramatic changes since the fort's abandonment in 1881. The area has been transformed into a city park, but ongoing erosion and degradation have prompted efforts to reconstruct the historic fort to preserve its cultural resources for future generations.

The reconstruction project aims to create a historically accurate representation of Fort Benton based on archaeological findings and extensive research. This initiative includes the restoration of key structures, such as the Trade Store and the Warehouse, while also incorporating the involvement of the Blackfeet Nation to interpret the area's rich history in the fur trade.
