For centuries, Traverse des Sioux has been a crossroads and meeting place for people of many cultures. On self-guided trails, signs introduce you a portion of the 10,000-year-old Minnesota River Valley. While enjoying a quiet walk through the site, learn more about Dakota Indian culture, transportation, the fur trade, the town site of Traverse des Sioux and the 1851 Treaty between the U.S. government and the Sisseton and Wahpeton bands of Dakota and its effects.
