Fort Juelson Project

Fort Juelson is located in the SW 1/4th of Section 3, Tordenskjold township about 2 miles east of Underwood, MN. A flag pole may be seen on this site north of Highway 210. This earthen fort was built in July of 1876 in response to rumors that the Indians were on the warpath and had already killed settlers in the Foxhome, French, and Fergus Falls areas.

The land has been recently given back to the Fort Juelson Historical Society. They want to restore it back into Native Praire. The 2010-2011 Underwood Advanced Environmental class has been helping harvest native praire seeds so they may be replanted to help with the restoration project. Below are some pictures of the students.
