History's Heroes

History's Heroes is a new program of the State Historical Society of North Dakota Foundation, which is seeking at least 10 donors from each of the state's 53 counties who will pledge $10,000 over five years to augment the fundraising for the expansion of the North Dakota Heritage Center.

These donations are to help the Foundation reach its fundraising goal of $12 in private support for the second phase of the Heritage Center's expansion.
