History
The Fort Seward covered wagon train began in 1969 as a one-time experience by a group of local citizens as a way to promote and preserve the local history of Jamestown and the Fort Seward historic site. The wagon train was created for those who wish to relive the pioneer family experience. It was decided to continue offering the wagon train ride each June, and the Fort Seward Inc., a nonprofit organization was started. One of the founders was Delno Kleinknecht.
