Harvest Halloween Party

Thanks to everyone who joined us this morning at our Harvest Halloween Party! The autumn sun was warm enough that we were able to get together outside at a park. The kids read a Halloween-themed book, made a pumpkin patch craft, and decorated trick-or-treat bags with stickers. Then we passed out candy and celebrated a birthday.

Adventure at the Archaeology Lab

MOMS Club® of Bismarck had a wonderful tour today of the Archaeology Lab at the Heritage Center! We discovered the faunal comparative collection, and the kids were able to hold a bison femur and turtle, wolf, and rodent skeletons. Then we looked at the material collection, where we checked out obsidian (volcanic glass), Knife River Flint, and viewed the projectile point collection. We also toured the archives, where over 12 million artifacts such as pottery, various knives, and other historic materials are stored and managed.
