These 10 Photos Of North Dakota In The 1950s Are Mesmerizing
Photographs are a portal into the past. They can take us back to the times before the internet and smart phones, into a time when more people spent their afternoons outdoors and took the time to stop by the post office to mail a letter to family or friends. These 10 photos were taken in North Dakota over half a century ago, so sit back, enjoy, and reminisce!

This one is a couple years shy of the 50s, but it was so interesting that I felt it deserved to be included. The train featured was built all the way back in 1910 and was retired in 1957.
Feel free to share any memories, stories, or photographs from this time period in North Dakota if you have any – it is always so interesting to read some of the amazing family history people have in this state!
