BATTLE-SITE SURVEY PHOTOS
This study was made possible by the American Battlefield Protection Program of the National Park Service, Washington-D.C.
The Brown County Historical Society is receiving over $33,000 in grant money from the American Battlefield Protection Program. The money will be used to help find artifacts from the 1862 U.S.-Dakota War, fought between settlers and the Dakota Indians.
The battlefields are throughout Brown County including the townships of Milford and the City of New Ulm; there are also several other townships and locations that will be surveyed.
The archeology report of the battle-sites should be done before the end of 2010. More surveying will take place in September of 2010.
