North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum Visitor Guide
WELCOME. WE'RE HAPPY YOU'RE here!
NORTH DAKOTA HERITAGE CENTER
The North Dakota Heritage Center, located on the
capitol grounds in Bismarck, is home to the State
Museum, the State Historical Society of North
Dakota, the North Dakota Geological Survey, and
the State Archives. The building is operated by
the State Historical Society. An expansion project
completed in 2014 added 97,000 square feet
of exhibit, storage, and office space. Don't miss
the outside attractions, including the outdoor
amphitheater, rock formations, and a petrified tree.
STATE MUSEUM
The State Museum at the ND Heritage Center
tells the stories of North Dakota from its
earliest geologic formation to contemporary
times. Collections in the galleries span more
than 600 million years. We invite you to take
a personal journey through the beautiful
new museum spaces that showcase our
people, our landscape, and current and
future development. Admission is free.View entire presentation
