Outdoor rec area near Fort Mandan gets 'relief'
11/9/2009
The ever increasing use of the outdoor recreation areas near Fort Mandan recently got a little “relief”. The placement of a permanent vault toilet in Fahlgren Park offers visitors extended use of the Fort Mandan History and Nature Trail, Kiwanis Playground and picnic shelters. The one piece concrete restroom, delivered and installed last week, was made possible with funds from a Recreation Trails Program grant.

Will We Always Recognize America? By Kevin Kirkey, Archive & Research Associate
11/3/2009
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity for a brief visit of our nation’s capital. While in Washington, I made my way to a small number of the many museums, memorials and monuments. During this trip I utilized a variety of transportation methods including airplanes, cars, trains and even a water taxi. I explored the Mall by foot from one end to the other, taking pictures and gathering memories. these places all of us had visited.
