Others have been abandoned yet reverently cared for. Sometimes the ringing of their bell is the only sound, a reassuring sound, in remote regions of our state.

North Dakota Firefighters Museum

GARRISON—Back in 2005, Garrison fireman Mike Matteson visited a museum for firefighters in Colorado and thought of building a similar one in North Dakota. He asked his chief, Donald Huettl, if something like that would work. Huettl agreed it would, and that was the beginning of the North Dakota Firefighters Museum.

Rock Solid Renovation

Restoring a Bottineau Landmark BOTTINEAU—More than 100 years ago, wood gave way to stone. Over the years the stone building, a symbol of strength and a proud focal point in the community, began to show its age. The relentless winds of time slowly took effect.
