BUFFALO HISTORICAL SOCIETY Inc.

The Historic 1916 Buffalo High School became the property of the Buffalo Historical Society in 2001, the same year it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

​

The two-story brick school is the last remaining example of non-residential Classic Revival style architecture in Buffalo with its rectangular shape, symmetrical facade, windows that are aligned horizontally and vertically in symmetrical rows, and projecting front gable.  The Historic 1916 Buffalo High School is keeping history alive and is an important example of historic preservation.

​

The Buffalo Historical Society, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, works with the City of Buffalo Historic Preservation Commission and the North Dakota State Historical Society to preserve our heritage. It allows for our history to be passed down from generation to generation, and also contributes to the economic growth in our local region.

 

We are very proud of our accomplishments and appreciate the support of alumni, former students, and friends of the 1916 Historic Buffalo High School, as well as our corporate business sponsors. The Buffalo Historical Society relies on gifts and donations from our  supporters, proceeds from fundraisers, building usage, and sales from our gift shop to maintain financial stability for operating expenses, insurance, maintenance, and repairs.

 

The Historic 1916 Buffalo High School provides vintage charm with old school character, both inside and outside, for educational opportunities, meetings, and special events.  Shopping in the Olde School Gift Shoppe and tours of our historic school are available by appointment, May to November, by contacting the coordinator at 701-412-4485. ​

Thank you for your support!
