ABOUT FORT SEWARD, INC.:
Fort Seward, Inc. is a nonprofit organization established in 1969, by a group of local citizens in order to preserve, protect and promote the history of North Dakota, and particularly the local history of Jamestown, N.D., and the Fort Seward site (1872-1877). A board of directors initiates and coordinates the activities of the organization.

HOW THE WAGON TRAIN STARTED:
The Fort Seward Wagon Train began as a onetime experience but the organizers thought the experience so worthwhile that a wagon train has been organized annually since the first one in 1969. Now Fort Seward, Inc. considers the wagon train a project of great benefit to those who wish to relive the pioneer family experience. This adventure takes place for one full week in late June.

Fort Seward, Inc. does not have a commercial interest in organizing the wagon train. It is considered a valuable historical experience in which the organizers find personal satisfaction.
