Keelboat Steamboat Park is a historic site located on the east bank of the Missouri River in Bismarck, ND. It commemorates the Northern Pacific Railroad warehouse that was used for transshipment between steamboats and freight trains during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
During its heyday, Bismarck served as an important transportation center and Missouri River port, connecting St. Louis, Missouri, Fort Benton, Montana, and other ports along the river. The park features a fieldstone monument with an aluminum plaque and provides visitors with a glimpse into the bustling activity that once took place at the dock area, including warehouses, saloons, hotels, restaurants, and gambling establishments.
