Widely recognized as an example of pioneer architecture, this post office is one of the last surviving log and clay plaster buildings in North Dakota. The construction technique is adapted from the building traditions of Ukrainian American immigrants. Now used as a museum, it is a distinctive reflection of the cultural and geographic variety of the region.
