We are excited about the expansion of the North Dakota Heritage Center. The Phase II expansion will be a partnership with the state, federal and private funding. The total cost of the project is approximately $51,700,000. Private and federal sources will raise $12 million over the next 5 to 7 years to help make it a reality. Give a gift now to help support the Phase II expansion of the North Dakota Heritage Center. Learn about more ways to make a donation to the State Historical Society.
To offer an item for donation to the museum, simply fill out Potential Acquisition form. Your offer will be e-mailed directly to the museum staff. You will receive a response within 30 days.
All items offered for donation to the museum will be reviewed by the museum collections committee to determine if it fulfills the needs of the Society, does not duplicate existing items, and to ensure that the Society can adequately care for the item. The Society does not buy or borrow collections.
Volunteers are essential to the quality of service provided to the public by the State Historical Society of North Dakota. In addition to the thousands of visitors at the North Dakota Heritage Center, Pembina State Museum, and historic sites each year, the agency responds to many inquiries and provides assistance to researchers. At the North Dakota Heritage Center, public areas such as the information desk and museum store are staffed by volunteers, and docents provide museum teaching for visitors.
