World War II Weekend

Travel back to the 1940s to learn about Fort Snelling and Minnesota’s role on battlefields and at home during World War II. Costumed staff, artifact displays, weapon firing demonstrations, a 1940s-style radio show, authentic vehicles and reenactors from across the region occupy the historic fort during this special weekend devoted to Minnesota's Greatest Generation. Visitors can participate in many hands-on activities for families including crafts, games and an obstacle course.
