Fort Wadsworth Trail
Upon the establishment by order of General Henry H.. Sibley, of Fort Wadsworth, later renamed Fort Sisseton, South Dakota, in 1864, an important military trail and wagon route was opened through this point from St. Cloud and Sauk Center, to Toqua or Graceville, Browns Valley, and the Sisseton Indian Reservation.
Verbatim 1940 text, presented as a historical record, not current interpretation. Minnesota now calls the 1862 conflict the U.S.-Dakota War and has since replaced the wording on some of these signs.
