`Passport to North Dakota` Opens Eyes to State Tourism
The state Tourism Department is counting on two new tools to bring tourists to North Dakota this summer and inspire residents to stay close to home.
Tesoro Refinery donated $25,000 to the Historical Society to distribute an updated "Passport to North Dakota History" booklet.
It includes sketches and photos of more than 60 historic sites, state parks, scenic byways, and wildlife refuges.
The Historical Society also announced a new program called History on Call, which offers narration about the historic sites in the Passport that travelers can access by phone.
"Both these tools will definitely help direct travelers to our attractions which these historic attractions really do tell the unique North Dakota story," says Sara Otte Coleman, of the ND Department of Tourism. "They showcase our legends and the history that really makes our part of the world legendary."
The US Forest Service donated $15,000 for the History on Call Program.
