Huff Archeological Site - Location

Location

The site is located near the town of Huff in Morton County, North Dakota on the bank of the Missouri River. In the 1960s, excavators enlisted the assistance of the US Army Corps of Engineers to stabilize the river bank and protect the site. Because of this, most of the site is undisturbed.

The rectangular layout of the village, which once included hundreds of lodges and outer fortifications, is easily seen on the surface at the site. The 2,000 feet long ditch still surround the village on three sides. The village spans 12 acres of land next to the river bank.
