The On-A-Slant Village is a fascinating place to visit. It will allow you to explore the earth lodges that used to fill this area with hundreds of people living in them long before the settlers came to this state.

The two tipis are named after the two rivers that the park is next to, the Missouri River and the Heart River. Each one has enough space for six people with cots, a fire ring, inside table, and outside picnic table available.
