Fall 2023

NEW THIS YEAR!!

The Dunn County Museum has regular open hours on Sunday afternoons, 1PM to 5PM MT, through the Winter Season. We have some Sunday afternoon events planned; we hope you'll join us.

If you would like to visit on a day other than Sunday, please call 701-548-8150 to inquire about availability of a volunteer to meet you. Several days advance notice is helpful but not always necessary.

Links on this page will lead you to specifics on exhibits, events, museum history, meetings, membership, gift shop and oral history orders, a new genealogy group, and even some photos we need help identifying - and more! We would be happy to answer any questions you may have through the contact form in the heading of this website or by calling the museum at 701-548-8111 and leaving a message. We will try to get back to you within a few days.

Happy Winter!

WINTER – SPRING 2024

We will be open on Sunday afternoons, 1 PM to 5 PM MT for the Winter & Spring.

 

If there is a Sunday snow or ice storm, please call ahead
to be sure someone is there before you travel.
We will try to post updates here but sometimes it may not be possible.
(Staff member on hand to answer calls on open days at 1:00 PM.)

 

Special events planned for some Sundays – see above.

When the weather is relatively nice and not snowy/icy we will try to keep
our outbuildings accessible, but please dress warmly to visit those,
as heat is limited or non-existent.
At times we will likely only be able to have
the main museum building open for visitors.

To visit in the winter season on a day other than Sunday,
please call ahead to 701-548-8150 to set up a time for a volunteer to meet you. 
  •  We will be open again with regular summer hours at the end of May 2024.
    Please check back here for updates.
There is no admission charge thanks to a generous donation from Walter Steffen.
For Gift Shop mail orders and any Oral History purchases, please call 701-260-1650.
