Starting with the history of indigenous people and tribes such as the Ojibwa, Assiniboine, and Dakota, this local history museum offers a variety of programs and exhibits that preserve the human and natural history of what is now northeastern North Dakota. Exhibits center on the lives of fur-traders, Native peoples, soldiers and explorers, and early farmers and business leaders. There is also a special exhibit dedicated to the region's history as a center of nuclear missile installations during the Cold War. The seven-story observation tower in the center of the museum offers an unparalleled view of the area and allows visitors to see up to ten miles in all directions.
