Fort Union National Historical Site Visitor's Center, Williston, North Dakota |

| The National Park Service's reconstruction of the majority of Fort Union, a major fur trade post at the confluence of the Missouri and the Yellowstone Rivers built between 1828 and 1855, is served by a visitor's center located in the reconstructed Bourgeois House at the center of the fort. The Center features, inside its accurate Greek revival facades, a modern facility housing interpretive exhibits, a small sales counter, public restrooms, and a visitor contact station on the main level. The lower level is a base for rangers and interpreters plus storage. The upper level contains offices for the small local administrative staff. In addition to providing historical architectural and modern design services for the Visitor's Center, YHR Partners and Houston Engineering redesigned a 1/2 mile new access road system with parking lots and interpretive pedestrian trails, and all utilities required for development of the fort. Site work was completed partially with donated local labor and materials. | ||||
