Brief history: From 1952 to 1982, the bell was displayed in the North Dakota Capitol, then at Century High School in Bismarck from 2001 to 2015. It’s been in offsite storage since 2015. In October 2024, it was moved to a hallway inside the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum.

2014: I took a slight 200-mile diversion on a business trip to take in the North Dakota Bell. At the time, the bell resided in Century High School in Bismarck. No, I’m not practicing my mime moves. The Bell is protected behind plexiglass.
