Fort Defiance
Fort Defiance is a historic site located in Estherville, Iowa. It was built in 1864 by the Union Army during the Civil War as a defensive fortification against the Sioux Indians. The fort was named after General Winfield Scott's victory at the Battle of Fort Defiance in 1846. The fort was abandoned in 1866 and the site is now a state park. Visitors can explore the fort's ruins, which include a blockhouse, a powder magazine, and a guardhouse. The park also features a picnic area, a playground, and a nature trail.
