Double Ditch State Historic Site

    0.01 sec.
Double Ditch State Historic Site

Location: 7.5 miles north of Bismarck on ND Highway 1804.
Facilities: Interpretive signs.
Special Features: Overlooking the Missouri River, Double Ditch Indian Village was a large earthlodge village inhabited by the Mandan people between about 1500 and 1781. The remains of earthlodges, midden mounds (trash heaps), and fortification ditches are clearly visible. The village was abandoned because of the smallpox epidemic that swept the interior of North America in 1780-81. By 1800, the Mandans had been reduced to as few as 1,200 individuals.
