Summary: Kevin Cramer and Chris Dill, State Archaelogist, State Historical Society of North Dakota, looking at model of new museum at Pembina State Museum groundbreaking on June 3rd, 1994. __[Bismarck Tribune Sunday, May 29 1994_p2D] Pembina museum to begin building. Pembina – Gov. Ed Schafer and several state deparment heads take part in ground-breaking ceremonies at noon Friday at the Pembina State Museum on Highway 59 in Pembina. The 12,000 square-foot building will contain two museum galleries, a tourism information center, meeting rooms, kitchen facility and a gift shop. The museum is being built through a cooperative effort of the departments of transportation, tourism, state parks, the State Historical Society and the North Dakota Heritage Foundation. Attending are department managers Marshall Moore, Keven Cramer, Tim Mueller, Jim Sperry, and Connie Johnson, executive director of the foundation. Members of the foundation, historical board and capital campaign committee have been invited. Master of ceremonies is Art Todd, historical board president. “This facility is not only important from a historical point of view, but it will be the catalyst that makes northeastern North Dakota a tourism destination,” Johnson said. The area brings in approximately $6 million in tourism dollars each year. When completed in May 1995, the museum and its 110-foot tower couild increase growth in the region by 15 percent to 20 percent. Galleries will display a broad brush stroke of history in the Pembina region. The main gallery will present prehistory, regional fur trade development, the Selkirk colonists, late fur trade era, the history of the Metis Indians, military history, transportation and the North Dakota settlement period. The second gallery will house temporary and travelling exhibits on regional and state history. Construction money comes from a federal grant through ISTEA, State Parks and Tourism enhancement funds and private matching funds being raised through a capital campaign.
