BELTRAMI COUNTY

In 2000, the Blandin/Blackduck Visioning Committee collected historical memorabilia for its 2001 Centennial Celebration planning process. The items collected came from the geographic area covered by the Blackduck School District, a 435-square-mile area that includes 13 townships and the cities of Blackduck, Tenstrike, Funkley, and Squaw Lake. The need for a permanent storage area for all collected items spurred discussions about finding a location to store them. This evolved to the possibility of an actual history center – a place to showcase and preserve our area’s heritage while educating our young people and operating a key attraction for residents and tourists alike. In January 2005, the Blackduck Arts Council partnered with the BAHAC to add an arts component to the proposed Center. Working together, the History and Art Center opened its doors on August 19, 2006. The center is a place to showcase and preserve the area’s heritage while serving as a key attraction for residents and tourists alike.
