Camp Ripley

Camp Ripley is an active 53,000-acre military and civilian training facility operated by the Minnesota National Guard. It is located north of Little Falls, Minn. near the Junction of Highways 371 and 155. The location of the camp was selected in 1929 by Ellard A. Walsh, Adjutant General of the State of Minnesota and took its name from the earlier frontier-era Fort Ripley, which in turn was named after Maine congressman and distinguished War of 1812 veteran Eleazar W. Ripley, the remains of which were contained within the new camp's property boundaries.
