Once home to school children in elementary through high school grade levels, the Minto School is now known as the Walsh County Historical Museum. Built in 1895 from bricks made in Minto, North Dakota, the school’s classrooms each now tell separate stories of pioneer life on the prairie, with many unique displays of the past with artifacts that have been given as gifts to the Museum.
Displays Include:
Main Street: Re-creation of old-time business establishments, including a general store, blacksmith shop, saloon, ice cream parlor, photography studio, beauty shop, dentist’s office, and more.
