- Historic Fort Snelling…read more Historic Fort Snelling is an excellent place to visit for anyone interested in American history, military history, or history in general. The site is fairly large, but parking was easy and cost about $6. Payment appeared to operate largely on the honor system, with instructions posted near the visitor center. Admission was around $15. Guided tours are offered at the top of the hour and last approximately 15 minutes. The tour is brief, but it provides a helpful overview of the fort and gives you enough background to explore the rest of the site on your own. Afterward, you can visit the different buildings and areas discussed during the tour. Costumed interpreters are stationed throughout the property and provide more detailed explanations about the fort, its residents, and daily life during different historical periods. There are also large informational displays throughout the site for anyone who wants to learn more independently. Some of the highlights included live blacksmithing demonstrations showing how items such as nails were made, as well as exhibits covering the quartermaster, sutler, physician, pharmacy, library, enlisted soldiers, officers, and the commanding officer's residence. The medical exhibits were especially interesting and showed how medicine and the role of physicians changed over time. The different sections of the fort represent multiple periods in its history and appeared to be carefully presented with period-appropriate details. Visitors can also see areas such as the ammunition magazines and the spaces where enslaved African Americans lived. I appreciated that the site did not ignore or minimize that part of its history. There was also a live rifle demonstration using blanks, which was interesting and added another interactive element to the visit. How long you spend here really depends on how deeply you want to explore. You could move through fairly quickly or spend several hours reading the displays and speaking with the interpreters. A large school group was visiting while I was there, and the children seemed engaged and excited. Between the costumed interpreters, demonstrations, and hands-on style of learning, this would be a great place to introduce children to history. Overall, I am very glad I stopped at Historic Fort Snelling. It was educational, engaging, and well worth the visit.

All the staff are to be commended not only for their knowledge but also their friendliness and willingness to answer questions. I especially enjoyed the blacksmith's explanation and demonstration of the work he does there. In the gift shop they sell actual nails and hooks they forge on site! The museum at the visitor center has an excellent exhibit of the history of the fort that's worth visiting!

I was drawn to contact Tammy and I am so very glad that I did. She was right on the money with so many things. She commented that what the cards laid out and how I presented were very different. She is right. I have a tough exterior but what was going on internally was something very different. I was so impressed.There were things that she could not possibly know about me, things that I have not talked about in 10-15 years. I was impressed enough to move forward with other services with her. I have never considered a life coach before. After meeting with her and her deep understanding of my journey, I decided I needed more of her insights. I would recommend her 110%. You will not be disappointed.

Also, the cost for our 4:00 rental period was completely reasonable.

The cashier told me that a tarot and palm reader was in today and I told her "thank you" and moved on because that's not why I came in. As I was looking at books, the psychic came out and lit an incense and began somewhat aggressively and quickly walking around the shop chanting under his breath. He came within inches of me looking at books multiple times, making a point to mention there was bad energy in the shop, to which the cashier agreed. It felt targeted toward me, and even if it wasn't, it would have made any customer uncomfortable. I'm not sure if it was because I declined the palm reading, but it was terrible customer service and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. I wish I hadn't purchased an almond oil to support them because I left feeling attacked for simply being a patron.
