Fort Buford, North Dakota

Near Williston, ND lies Fort Buford, where in 1881, Sitting Bull surrendered. Aside from that fact, it has a very interesting history. It was attacked many times. The building is still standing and is well preserved. Additional buildings are intact. A barracks containing the furnishings of a 1880s cavalry unit can be toured. It's a good stop if you're in the area.
