Dakota Memories Heritage Tour

Highly recommended - the Dakota Memories Heritage Tour being organized by the Germans from Russia Heritage Collection of NDSU. Traveling by passenger coach, 18-20 September, this tour takes in the outstanding German-Russian culture sites of central North Dakota--the Lehr Tabernackle, the Schwab earth house, the Welk homestead, iron cross cemeteries, and even a good old-fashioned fall supper. Outstanding ethnic cuisine, great company, and a learning experience.
