The restoration of the Forest City Stockade was a Meeker County project for the Bicentennial year of 1976. The Stockade, and the two-story museum within, stands as a memorial to the brave pioneers who settled here and sought safety behind its walls during the Sioux Indian Uprising of 1862.
The Forest City Stockade is a reminder of how life was like back in 1862. You can tour all of our historic buildings , which also show the progress of Forest City in the form of new construction. The Stockade hosts two family-friendly events annually, where you can step back in time and enjoy friendly people, delicious food, and many pioneer activities.
The Forest City Stockade is located 6 miles Northeast of Litchfield and approximately 1/2 mile South of Forest City on Minnesota Highway 24. Enjoy our website and please contact us for further information.
