We’re stocking up our Pack Your Wagon activity, and our little pioneers need more gear to load up for the journey!
We are looking for donations of doll-sized primitive or historical accessories. Think tiny wooden crates, mini cast iron pans, small barrels, fabric sacks, wooden tools, rolled canvas, or pioneer style household items.
The Details:
Size: Doll-sized / mini
Style: Primitive, pioneer, or rustic
Durability: Items will be handled constantly by enthusiastic young hands, so sturdy materials only; no fragile or breakable items!
How to Donate:
Please bring donations directly to the Fort Seward site before Labor Day. If you have items to donate after Labor Day, send us a message to make post-season drop-off arrangements.

This was a fun day at the site!

A school librarian and a North Dakota farmer came together to see that war memorabilia belonging to Dr. Robert G. Rogers landed back with family.

Can you believe the 2026 season is almost over?! Labor Day (September 7th) is our official last day, which means you only have a few weeks left to stop out and experience the fort before we wrap up for the year!
We’re also making a big final push for our Boardwalk Repair Project. Our boardwalks keep our site accessible and historical for everyone, and our goal is $27,000. Right now, we’ve raised $4,000 and we need your help to cross the finish line!!
How you can help before Labor Day:
Stop by and visit us in person before September 7th!
