Historic Sites
The Lewis Hotel was built in 1914 in Tappen, ND. It contains a restored Ballroom and vintage bar.
Step inside our historic buildings and hear the stories of the people who moved here, began our towns and homesteaded the prairies of North Dakota. You will view actual buildings dating from 1875 to 1935 with traceable histories in our area. The buildings were moved to this site by the Missouri Valley Historical Society for preservation and offer visitors a feel for the atmosphere of the Missouri River Valley during the time.
Some of the buildings include: Lein School #2 built in 1906 from near Arena ND, the Yegen Store built in 1877 from Bismarck, the Sterling ND Depot built in 1885, the Bethel Lutheran Church (1916) from near Coleharbor ND, the 1930's Capital Aviation Hangar and the James Foley home both from Bismarck.
Other early building include a Post Office, Bank, Barber Shop, Mine Camp, Farm Museum, the Gellner Home (Germans from Russia), Claim Shack, NP Caboose and the Swedish Engstrom home (currently under restoration).
Be sure to reserve some time before or after your tour to browse The Shoppe at Buckstop Junction for North Dakota collectables or your very own copy of "Old Walls do Tell Tales, the Pioneer Stories of Buckstop Junction."
Our Old Settlers' Day/ Corn Feed is held the third Sunday of August
