Students Art Work on Display at Visitor Center/Museum
The picket fences that you see as you walk through the Pioneer Museum of McKenzie County are those painted by the 2007 Watford City Elementary 4th Grade. As part of their ND History Project they worked with the Pioneer Museum and explored the different types of fences in North Dakota History. They concluded with painting different symbols of North Dakota on each of their “pickets”. The pickets were then put together as one to form a union of all of the 4th grades. The pickets will eventually be placed in the Children’s Play Park.
This project was done in conjunction with the Smithsonian Exhibit “Between Fences”. Please click on and read further article on link!
