Quick Facts

Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

During the historic period, Fort Union's busy deep-water landing was located just below where you are now standing. Riverboats and other vessels tied up here to off-load and on-load passengers and cargo. 

Over the years, the Missouri River slowly changed course and the channel moved away from this bank.
