Battery I 1st US Artillery in St. Louis Park, Minnesota is a remnant of the American Civil War. The battery was originally erected in 1864, by the Union Army in response to the Confederate attack on Fort Ridgely. It is located in Fort Snelling State Park, and is a part of the Minnesota Historical Society's Historic Fort Snelling.

The battery consists of a circular earthwork with a central mound and eight gun casemates. The earthwork was built to provide protection for the eight cannons that were placed in the casemates. The cannons could be fired in any direction, and were used to protect the fort from enemy ships and land forces.

Today, the battery is a popular spot for visitors to the park. The battery is accessible to the public and there are interpretive signs that explain the history of the battery and its significance to the Civil War. Visitors can also explore the area around the battery and take in the view of the Mississippi River from the top of the mound.

The battery is a reminder of the important role that Minnesota played in the Civil War. It is an important part of the state's history and an important part of the nation's past. The battery stands as a reminder of the sacrifices that were made in order to preserve the Union.
