Building a Better Future with Our Historic Places!

Welcome

Thank you for joining us at PND's 16th Annual Conference: Building a Better Future with Our Historic Places! We offer three expanded tours, thirteen educational sessions, and the opportunity to explore exciting options forward in historic preservation using better building and planning practices.

Featured segments include historic preservation and green building philosophy and techniques, Native American perspectives on the past and future built environment in North Dakota, our historic bridges, and problems and solutions in repairing stone edifices. We are partnering with some fantastic organizations, including Buckstop Junction in Bismarck as our conference site and our speaker on moving historic buildings, Knife River Indian Village National Historic Site near Stanton, ND for insights into Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara culture and traditional built environments, AIA North Dakota regarding historic buildings and green building philosophy, Manitoba's Historic Resources Branch of Cultural, Heritage, Tourism and Sports on stone building history and repair, and the State Historical Society of North Dakota's North Dakota Heritage Center for a Sunday presentation on the surprising energy savings of rebuilding and reusing historic windows. Join us Thursday evening April 30th at 6:30 pm for a reception at the Former Governor's Mansion located at 320 East Avenue B, Bismarck.
