Eastwood Park National Historic District Neighborhood Association Helps preserve the only neighborhood in Minot on the National Register of Historic Places. A walk through Eastwood Park can be a learning experience because of the many architectural styles represented in the neighborhood. The association presents home tours in June and an Olde Fashioned Holiday Festival in December. The proceeds from these events help with neighborhood enhancement projects. This Ethnic festival celebrates the heritage and culture of the five Scandinavian countries from which many Upper Midwest families emigrated.
Activities range from traditional food and culture to contemporary trade goods and talent.
More than 55,000 people attend from across the U.S. making it a major tourist event. Ward County Historical Society Operates a complex of historic buildings and a museum collection of farm implements on the North Dakota State Fairgrounds. Buildings are open May through September, Tuesday through Sunday, 10am - 6pm.
