buckstop junction印象

This was a great way to see life in the "olden days." The adults visited the old buildings and churches and the kids ran around and played. Was a great experience.

This is an outdoor historical park. Buildings have been moved here from around the state in order to create this artificial "town". Each building houses artifacts. There is a country store, homes, church, blacksmith shop, old gas station, hotel with dance floor, and lots more. The model train association has a large room/workshop here as well. If you are a model train buff call the Buckstop office and see if you can see the elaborate model train set up. I recommend checking the website and taking a tour ( http://www.buckstopjunction.org ) because the volunteers unlock rooms and buildings and explain things. Tours are $5 each, students over 6 $3, and children under 6 are free. There is a fascinating gift shop/craft shop/thrift shop -- you have to see it! Parking is free. We went with an elderly person and a handicapped person and the Buckstop Junction took them around on a golf cart. It is a lot of walking otherwise. This would also be a neat venue for a wedding, anniversary celebration or family reunion! It is staffed by volunteers and like many historical sites, appreciates the income from your patronage.

A small collection of ND's historic builings moved and preserved for all to enjoy. I believe it is all run by volunteer efforts. Nice job!

We had a lovely day here it was so neat walking through all the houses they moved to show the history of Bismarck. The rubarb drink was AWESOME! It was very windy the day we were there but that is ND for you, lol.

I was able to do this tour due to the government shutdown that closed all National parks and so I had quite some time to spare in the Midwest. Already way up front, I had contact with one of the volunteers that kept this place open. After several mails and a phone call, I was able to visit this small village. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and spared no time or efforts to show me around. Many buildings held a great story and the exhibits and artefacts, all donated, were carefully placed and well maintained. This small village was not a mass tourism attraction and maybe that is why it was so attractive overall. The place is run by volunteers and they live from a small entrance fee and donations of all kind. I was happy to have contributed to that and had a great two hours visit with American history, mostly from the early 20th century.

We visited while in town for a marathon. They had an apple festival going on and since there isn't much else to do in the area, we thought we might as well check it out. The best part was that they had actual people who had lived in one of the houses there to talk to. They also had a few other historians on hand (I'm not sure if this is a regular thing). They had all kinds of food and music and things for sale, it was fun and informative. It would be a plus to visit during some kind of festival if you can. Otherwise it would be a quick hour visit.

This is one of my favorite places in Bismarck. It is a small, historical town on the outskirts of the city (on the way to McDowell Dam). You can set up private tours, or go for one of their events. They have brought buildings from all over North Dakota (and I think from some other MidWest states), restored them, and have them for visitors. I especially love seeing the old German homestead house.I may be a little biased, as I volunteered here as a kid/youth, but I think it is still a great place to be. The events there are fun, as well.

Buckstop Junction is restored ND community buildings set up just like they would have been many years ago. You can visit a depot, hotel, store, blacksmith shop, various homes from mansions to one room houses, school house, church hall, and many more.Come during one of the many festivals they have and listen to live music and see old time gun fights right on main street. You can't but have a great time!!
