The Fort Buford 6th Infantry will host its 7th annual Military Collectors Show Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 21 and 22 in the multi-purpose building at the Upper Missouri Valley Fairgrounds, Williston. The show is a fundraiser for the Fort Buford 6th Infantry which is a living history group portraying the Fort Buford soldiers in the 1870s. This fundraiser will help them continue to provide valuable insights into the history of Fort Buford and the area through events including the Living History Encampment held each July.
The Military Collectors Show draws about 20 collectors and vendors each year with most of the merchandise from WWI through the Vietnam War. All eras are welcome however. Military gear of all kinds, including firearms, badges, ribbons and much more are available to browse through and purchase. A special display this year will be the emplacements of American and German machine guns.
