The Forest City Stockade was built in central Minnesota to defend settlers in the area from Indian attacks.[1] It became famous during the Dakota War of 1862, when it was besieged by the Dakota as part of Little Crow's attack on Forest City. In the 21st century, the rebuilt stockade functions as a tourist attraction and memorial to the battle.[2] Visitors to the site can visit a rebuilt stockade and see volunteers in 19th-century dress illustrate period life and activities.[3] A threshing bee takes place across the road in August. The site of the stockade is between Litchfield and Forest City near Minnesota State Highway 24.[4]
