The park is full of historic buildings, some relocated and some reconstructed, that’ll bring you back in time to the earlier days on the prairie.

What makes this place really unique is also its focus of not only North Dakota history but also North Dakota heritage. The park has a Scandinavian Stabbur to help teach about and celebrate the large amount of North Dakotans descended from Scandinavian immigrants.
