Overview

The Historic Preservation Commission is a seven-member advisory board that carries out matters related to the Historic Preservation Ordinance of the City of Bismarck. The Historic Preservation Commission’s responsibilities include:

Timeline of Bismarck History

The Timeline is a product of a two-year effort of a subcommittee formed by the Bismarck Historic Preservation Committee. The eras, themes, people and events identified within the timeline establish a Bismarck-specific historic context which informs future preservation-related efforts. Suggested additions to this online timeline are welcome and we encourage you to add to our town's ever-growing body of history.
