Double Ditch Indian Village is a significant historical site located just north of Bismarck, ND. This large earthlodge village was once home to the Mandan Indians for nearly 300 years, serving as a center of trade and cultural exchange between the Mandans, their neighbors, and later, Euroamerican traders.
Abandoned due to a devastating smallpox epidemic in the late 18th century, Double Ditch Indian Village now stands as a testament to the rich history and heritage of the Mandan people, with remnants of earthlodges and interpretive signage providing visitors with a glimpse into the past.
