The 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse State Historic Site and the 164th Infantry Remembrance Association will mark the 85th anniversary of the 164th Infantry’s departure from North Dakota with a special World War II living history weekend Saturday, Feb. 28, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, March 1, 9 a.m.-noon. The program is free and open to the public.

The two-day event within the historic courthouse offers an immersive look at the experiences of North Dakota National Guardsmen as they prepared for WWII in 1941. Reenactors and living historians will present interpretive programs and interactive demonstrations, highlighting military life and the sacrifices made by service members and their communities.

In addition to military portrayals, programming will highlight home front efforts, with women and civilian interpreters sharing the ways communities supported the war effort. Together, the presentations honor not only those who served overseas, but also the families and citizens who remained behind and contributed to the nation’s wartime mobilization.
