Legacy Program

The Legacy Program is a joint project between the State Historical Society of North Dakota  Foundation, city and county historical societies and state newspapers.  Its purpose is to publish feature stories in local newspapers about people who have made a difference in their communities. The published stories will then be added to this website and to the Archives collection of the State Historical Society of North Dakota.

The first Legacy Program project has begun with the Mandan Historical Society and the Mandan News. The published feature stories are below:
