About
Visiting Big Delta State Historical Park is like stepping back in time. This area was once a super important place for travelers, traders, and the military during the dawn of the 20th century. You don’t have to trade animal pelts to appreciate the history, though! Because there’s so much detailed history in the park’s many buildings, pay special attention to the park interpretive guides. You can also snag a brochure for a self-guided tour. For overnighting, simply mosey on over to the RV camping area, where you’ll have plenty of amenities to make your stay comfortable.
