The public is invited to view this history exhibit free of charge. This project honors the unrecognized contribution of women who grew up or lived on farms in Logan County, McIntosh County, and Emmons County. Seventeen panels feature photos and short memories created from interviews collected with assistance from a State Historical Society of North Dakota grant.<\/p>\n<p>Many stories of farming prior to rural electrics bringing electricity to the sometimes-harsh prairies have never been told. How did these women learn about providing for families, sewing clothes or crocheting the scarce niceties in their homes? In addition to being wives and mothers, many were farm hands, healers, teachers, housekeepers, and artists. They kept traditional holidays and religious customs. Unseen and unrecognized many of these women did what they had to without recognizing the importance of their contribution to the economic growth of the state.<\/p>\n<p>These panels represent a small snapshot into farm life, but you will enjoy spending some time reading memories and viewing the old photographs.<\/p>\n<p>The Tri-County Tourism Alliance is a nonprofit dedicated to the support of Germans from Russia heritage tourism, for more information.
