Visitors can also witness the firing of historic rifles from five different eras of the fort’s history.
The Brooklyn Big Band will be performing at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. inside the historic fort.
We commemorate those who served in the armed forces. Veterans receive free admission to Historic Fort Snelling. Active military personnel and their families receive free admission through the Blue Star program from Armed Forces Day to Labor Day.
