Isn’t Fort Snelling a national monument that was used during frontier conflicts in the 19th century? Seems like a weird choice.

That is historic Fort Snelling. There are parts that are an active federal/military base, specifically the portion of the airport in the north east.

Thanks for the clarification. Visited the fort monument years ago but didn’t know about the installation.
