After visiting the Heritage Museum, we walked over to the Capitol building. The beautiful wood paneling in the Senate and House of Representatives rooms was magnificent. We took the elevator to the 18th floor and were able to view the city. This gave us a nice perspective on the area. Returning to the first floor we looked at all of the paintings in the Rough Rider Hall of Fame, those from North Dakota who brought fame to the state. Short but great visit.

The private lives of public people are on display at the Former Governors' Mansion, home to 20 chief executives and their families from 1893 to 1960. An impressive staircase leads from the public rooms to the areas where children played, servants worked, and the families retreated from public life. Unique room exhibits feature the restoration process, architectural style changes, and furniture used by several governors.

Before there was Bismarck, there was Camp Hancock. Built in 1872 as a bustling military supply post, it became a national weather station in 1894. Camp Hancock is home to the oldest building in Bismarck, as well as an 1881 church and a locomotive from the glory days of steam transportation. The building houses interpretive exhibits and artifacts. The grounds are open daily, but buildings are currently closed.
