Founded in 2005, the mission of the Bismarck Historical Society is to learn, preserve and promote the history of Bismarck, North Dakota.
The St. Mary's Cemetery Walking Tour is scheduled for September 11 at 6:30pm. It is a walk through one of Bismarck's historic cemeteries and includes stories of historical Bismarck and area residents, and some who are not as well known. There is a slight incline to where the tour actually begins. Comfortable walking shoes are advised and, if necessary, bring a walking stick. Attendees should also note that there are no restrooms at the cemetery. It is also suggested to bring insect repellent.
Parking is in a small parking lot next to a small "chapel looking" building on East Avenue D between North 23rd and North 26th Streets.
This month's program will showcase a Dusty Old Box from the 1930s, which has been tucked away at the State Archives of North Dakota. Our presenter is Amy Sakaraissen.
Free and open to all!
