Considered "the fiercest clash between Indians and white soldiers in North Dakota," Whitestone Hill Battlefield State Historic Site is the location where many Indian men, women and children died or were captured on September 3, 1863, "when General Alfred Sully's troops attacked a tipi camp of Yanktonai, some Dakota, Hunkpapa Lakota and Blackfeet (Sihasapa Lakota); as part of a military mission to punish participants of the Dakota Conflict of 1862." About six miles southwest of Merricourt, Whitestone Battlefield State Historic Site includes a portion of the battlefield, museum with exhibits, two monuments and a fieldstone shelter. The museum is open from mid-May through mid-September 15, Thursday through Monday.
