Whitestone Hill Education Day Activities Planned
 

On Wednesday, Sept. 9, the 15th annual Education Day will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Whitestone Hill State Historic Site located near Kulm, Edgeley, and Ellendale, ND. Programs are targeted to third and fourth grade students studying North Dakota history, but all students are invited to attend.  Participants are asked to bring their own lunch and water.
 
The free event will have several visitor stations including a paleontologist, geologist, geographer, archaeologist, and a representative from the ND Forest Service, as well as a leather working demo and tipi raising activity.  The Museum Store will have items available for sale during the event.
 
The Whitestone Hill State Historic Site can be reached by traveling from Kulm south 12 miles on North Dakota State Highway 56, then east four miles on a gravel road, then north nearly two miles to the site. The site features a small museum, two monuments, an adjacent park, and picnic and recreational facilities. The site is open through Sept. 15.
