Preservation North Dakota Conference to be Held in Valley City May 5-7 Preservation North Dakota will hold their annual conference in Valley City from Friday, May 5 through Sunday, May 7 under the theme: "Sustain America: Vision, Economics, and Preservation." Dale Bentley, Executive Director of Preservation North Dakota, said, "Valley City is a treasure trove of landmarks of historical interest, so there is certainly no shortage of content for an interesting and informative agenda." The event will kick-off on Thursday, May 4 with an Ice Breaker and Social held at the President's House Guest Inn on the campus of Valley City State University (VCSU). Conference sessions will be held on the VCSU campus on May 5 and 6. Said Bentley, "In addition to being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the VCSU campus is a showcase of successful and functional preservation. This makes it an outstanding place to hold our annual conference." The agenda will feature an opening Plenary address by VCSU President Dr. Ellen Chaffee on the topic of campus preservation, and will include tours of the campus and a silent auction. The conference will also feature visits and tours to several other historic Valley City area landmarks including the Barnes County Courthouse, the Historical Museum, the Congregational Church, and a tour of Valley City bridges. A Prairie Places Heritage Tour on Sunday, May 7 will include visits to the Rosebud Visitor's Center, the King School, the city of Kathryn, Wadeson Park, the Waldheim Lutheran Church, Little Yellowstone, and Fort Ransom State Park. Preservation North Dakota is a non-profit, grassroots organization that provides resources and advocacy for historic preservationists.
