About

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.

Dates

Two special events per year open to the public. Call for admission on other days.
