The main parking lot for the Fort Union Trading Post is in North Dakota, and is on Central Time.
The overflow parking lot for the Fort Union Trading Post is in Montana, and is on Mountain Time.
Unfortunately, that's about the most interesting thing about the site, as it exists today. The history of the site is fascinating; it was a key trading post between Native Americans and - well, Non-Native Americans for forty years. But the fort was torn down in the 1860s to provide material for a military fort (Fort Buford). What's there today is a partial recreation of the fort. It's not bad, but not really worth the long drive. Not a site we'll be revisiting.
