Camp Hancock State Historic Site

Camp Hancock, on Bismarck's Main Avenue, was an early military supply depot and Signal Corps office, part of the U.S. government efforts to construct a transcontinental railroad that would help consolidate its control over the region.

The former officers' quarters, built in 1872 as a log cabin, is the oldest standing building in Bismarck. It has been enlarged and remodeled several times, and the logs have been concealed by clapboard siding. Inside, explore exhibits about local history and the U.S. Weather Bureau office once housed here.

The 1881 Bread of Life Church, the city's oldest church, features LaFarge stained-glass windows. Since its beginnings, the Bread of Life Church has been a place for special ceremonies. This tiny church can still be rented for small summer weddings and recitals.
