Stump Lake Park Pioneer Village <<Back
The Pioneer Village is much more than a collection of "Stuff". Combined with Stump Lake Park, there is something to do for all ages. Whitetail deer browse the grounds of both the Pioneer Village and Stump Lake Park. 60 acres of woods provide a home for a wide rage of wildlife from deer to birds. Teddy Roosevelt established the second wildlife refuge in the nation at Stump Lake Park because of its great variety of waterfowl.

The Village hosts a wide variety of activities in the summer, from band concerts to the Threshing Bee. Speakers portray early historical characters of North Dakota. Traveling exhibits provided by the North Dakota Historical Society offer snapshots of our past. Demonstrations of early pioneer skills range from spinning wool to a saw mill cutting wood. See Events.

We have great "stuff" too! From steam engines to hand pulled fire equipment. Each of our buildings is full of authentic and interesting items, more is under construction. There are tours every Sunday and at other times by arrangement. A paved walking trail, made possible by a grant, makes getting around the Village a pleasure. Most buildings are handicapped accessible.
