Casselton Heritage Center: Sharing Our History

The Casselton Heritage Center was established in April, 2004, through the initiative of Twila Schrock, a former Mennonite Church member and daughter of A. J. Stoll. The Stone Church has become a non-profit incorporated center for the Casselton area residents and is available to programs, weddings, funerals, educational and entertainment activities, reunions, open houses and tour groups. The Library Room is dedicated to the five North Dakota governors who came from the Casselton area and is available to the Casselton Historical Society for its members’ use. The Casselton Heritage Center is on the National Registry for the Historical Buildings and is governed and managed by a board of directors and bylaws.
