As a devotee of PBS, I am often exposed to the same ads a little more frequently than I deem absolutely necessary. Nevertheless, there is one ad (for Ancestry.com) that always brings a smile to my face with its tagline: “Who are the strong women in your family?” First of all, I come from sturdy ...

Shebby Lee has posted a new Trail Talk: Vicissitudes

Oh, Goody! Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are now headed for yet another national political scandal which threatens - yet again - to tear the national bonds asunder! It certainly does feel familiar. I was a new mother when Watergate happened, and despite considerable obstacles to obtain...

Like many parts of American Indian culture there is a proper time and place for all activities. For many tribes traditional storytelling is reserved for the winter months. This was a practical choice given the fact that during the other seasons, people were busy growing, gathering, and hunting food....

Shebby Lee has posted a new Trail Talk:

It has been exactly eighty years since America was attacked at Pearl Harbor - on our own soil - and without provocation. Although we didn’t know exactly how we would enter the war, we were not entirely unprepared, as the United States had voluntarily become the arsenal to the world under the leade...

Hear ye, hear ye, let it be known! Fort Mandan has received its first snowfall of the season! The fort is currently looking quite dapper in its light covering of snow, and is available for viewing during any one of our guided tours. During our winter season, we offer guided tours of the fort three times each day (Monday through Saturday), and our tour times are as follows: 11am, 1pm, and 3pm. Anyone wishing to view the fort can purchase tickets at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, and with your $8 admission, you gain access to our museum exhibits as well as a tour of Fort Mandan. We hope to see you soon!

Today we honor and commemorate the 37 members of the Corps of Discovery who served in the U.S. Army, along with the thousands of men and women who have served our country for nearly 250 years.

There’s always a bit of confusion between Veterans Day and Memorial Day. What’s the difference?

Memorial Day (the last Monday in May) honors service members who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle.

Deceased veterans are also remembered on Veterans Day, but the day is set aside to thank and honor living veterans who honorably served in military active duty – during wartime or peacetime.

Veterans are all around us – be sure to express your appreciation and gratitude to our country’s heroes.
