We are planning on expanding the Fort Seward Tent City project in 2021! As many of our past guests know, we do not have building on the Fort Seward grounds. In 2020 we started a brand new outdoor Tent City to better tell the story of Fort Seward. It was well received, so we are now planning to expand! We hope to have each building that was on the grounds represented in Canvas Exhibit tents, with a goal for the project to be complete May 2022. Please consider donating to help achieve our goal!

Our Themed Weeks are Back!

Each Saturday, we will have a new opportunity for guests to learn about different parts of life around the Jamestown area in the time the Fort was active. From learning how to pack a wagon to get ready for a long journey, planting a 3 sisters garden, quilting, the History of the American Flag, and the life of a Enlisted Solider, we will have something for everyone to enjoy! Watch for our Schedule of Events coming soon for each weeks theme.

Historic Fort Seward was in operation from 1872 to 1877. The main job of the men that served there was to oversee the building of the railroad through Jamestown.

The site now contains a Veterans’ Memorial Wall, with personalized bricks for purchase, an interpretive center with many original historical items from the site, and a beautiful overlook of the City of Jamestown.
