North Dakota Historical Society works to fill military collection gaps ahead of new museum
A new military museum is coming to the Capitol grounds in Bismarck, and it’s all about North Dakota’s role in service at home and abroad. The North Dakota Military Gallery, expected to open in 2027, will display more of the state’s 10,000-item military collection—most of which currently sits in storage. The project, backed by both public and private funds, aims to highlight stories from Medal of Honor recipients, Native American warriors, and everyday service members. Donations of uniforms, personal items, and oral histories are actively being sought to help fill the gaps.
Michael Achterling with North Dakota Monitor has the full story that includes a photographical look at several items in the collection. A deeper look at the firearms collection follows in the Youtube video below.
