BISMARCK, N.D. – The State Historical Society of North Dakota recently announced Julie Burgum and Bruce Anderson as recipients of the local history award in the category Excellence in Local History.

The Excellence in Local History award recognizes individuals, groups, or organizations who have dedicated their time, talent, and efforts to local and regional history that can serve as role models of excellence.
