    An important place to visit If you have any interest in…read morehistory at all this is a wonderful place to visit. Our tour guide was young YET extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The 50's house was so awesome. The gas station great. And I lived that we could enter the rooms of the homes and school. No ropes! Engaging place and beautifully landscaped. So glad this place exists.

    For a small museum, they have a lot to offer about early pioneer life here, as well as great guided…read moretours. They have a main building that's full of a slew of Grand Forks county area history, including a lot of the flood stuff. They have a timeline of the Pulitzer-winning news coverage of the flood by the Grand Forks Herald. Then they have a log cabin that the original owners retrofitted into a house in the early 1900s. They have a carriage garage with a working Model A as well as a slew of other wagons and some unique modes of transportation (children's sleigh to be towed behind a car, grain hoppers, etc.). They have a frontier-era log-cabin style post office/communications building. A period gas station. The best part is...they have a mail-order build-it-yourself steel home that was sold in the post WWII-era to deal with a housing shortage, filled with period stuff, including a flip-top microwave. You'd order the parts, they'd come in boxes on trucks, and you'd weld it all together. People were living in it until the 1997 flood, as a testament to its durability and safety. $5 to get in to the while thing, kid friendly, group friendly and the tour guide is nice and very knowledgeable. They're only open from 1 to 5 p.m., but no tours after 4 p.m. So, plan to get there in time. The grounds are also used for concerts and weddings and such.
