August 14, 2018 — The Northern Pacific Missouri River Bridge at Bismarck has stood for almost one hundred and thirty years. It has beaten back all that the mighty river has thrown against it, withstanding floods, ice jams and eroded embankments. For one man, Frank Ingalls, the ongoing safety of the structure became a lifetime battle. Ingalls held his first railroad job in 1866 as a station helper in Danvers, Mass.

It gives you a little time to get the kids settled into the school routine before you get ready to take another little day trip. Plus, it’s practically right in your own backyard! Sullys Hill National Game...

A new school year is almost upon us! The Hunger Free Food Pantry is once again looking for donors to sponsor a child for the 2018-19 school year. The cost is $5 a week per child, totaling $95 for half a year or $190 for the full school year. Last year we served 14 children each week. The kids take home a backpack of food on Fridays, and it provides them with light meals and snacks to help them get by over the weekend. We believe that when a child is fed, they are equipped to learn, grow and imagine a future filled with opportunity. Last year...
