Lewis and Clark Trail Museum

Alexander, North Dakota, which was founded in 1905, grew slowly as homesteaders arrived from Norway, Germany, and Ireland and it remains a small town with a population that barely tops 300. 

The museum focuses on the early settlers. An entire room features  cases filled with individual family histories and artifacts.  

Other exhibits cover farming, ranching, and local businesses. Besides the main museum, which is housed in the old Alexander schoolhouse, there's a log cabin, a sheepherder’s wagon, a church, an old Boy Scout headquarters building, and a building with trucks, tractors, and wagons on display. A number of large petrified redwood stumps are located on the grounds of the museum. 

The entrance to the main museum is under repair and will have a ramp when the repairs are completed. The first floor doesn't have much on display but there is a stairlift to the second floor. The lift was too high for me to transfer into so Tony lifted me onto it. This was the first time I'd tried a lift like this and I found it rather scary. The third floor is not accessible.

Ramps access the other buildings and the interiors are accessible. 

RVs can be parked along the street. Museum  47.84517, -103.6418
