Cavalier County Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cavalier County Museum is an open air museum located in Dresden, North Dakota.

The village of Dresden was founded in 1897 between Langdon and the Canadian border. Its population peaked in 1920 with around 250 residents, but this had fallen to around 20 people by 1970.[1]

The Cavalier County Museum opened in Dresden in the late 1960s and was operated by the county's historical society.[1]

In 1989, the museum consisted of seven buildings and plans were made to purchase the village's former post office.[1]
