North Dakota Heritage Center

2016 Out West, Arikara, Dakota, Lakota, Native Americans, North Dakota, Road Trip, States

The Art Deco skyscraper that is the North Dakota state capitol building sits on a amazing expanse of parkland in Bismarck that is home also to the North Dakota Heritage Center. Wow! They do an amazing job of telling the story of the place we now call North Dakota from the time it was part of an inland sea to present. They have a mummified dinosaur, a number of fine dinosaur skeletons, and other fossils, a gallery telling stories of the Native Americans that inhabited the area, and stories and artifacts of the pioneers. Way more than we could possibly assimilate in one visit. After that we enjoyed the grounds for a bit before participating in the mundane of running errands and doing laundry.

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
