Family Day at Historic Fort Snelling: Army Communications

About This Event

Create memories together with family and friends at Historic Fort Snelling at our Family Days this winter. Take part in kids activities, games, and demonstrations, explore the Many Voices, Many Stories, One Place exhibit, and learn about the people who have called this place home for many thousands of years.

Bring the whole family to Historic Fort Snelling for our Army Communications Family Day. Learn about how the army communicated long distance before and even after the telephone. Try your hand at the Wig Wag flag, Semaphores, or the telegraph. You can even make your own signal flag.
