Welcome.

We are The Northern Plains Heritage Alliance, an amalgamation of like-minded, closely held organizations anchored by two non-profit organizations; The Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation and The Northern Plains Heritage Alliance.

These completely independent organizations have separate and independent guidance and leadership from their respective boards of directors.

Both are 501(c)3 non-profit organizations based in Bismarck, North Dakota.

We began our story over 40 years ago revitalizing Fort Lincoln State Park. After building a multitude of facilities and programs to help teach about the history of life on the Northern Plains we donated our life’s work to the people of North Dakota and pivoted to the next chapter in our history book.

Nowadays we pride ourselves on being purveyors of heritage education. Even in the midst of executing our latest mission driven plan, we are thoughtfully and relentlessly are searching for our next project so we may write the next chapter of this foundation’s biography.

We are a sum of our parts.

We are place makers.

We are history tellers.

We are community builders.

We hold a holding nothing dearer than the understanding and respect we have for our partners, our donors, our supporters, and our employees. We are nothing without people, and we begin and end each day remembering that.

So visit the places we build, listen to the history we tell, and lose yourself within the stories and the grandeur of The Northern Plains.

Who are we?

We are the

Northern Plains Heritage Alliance.
