On 1 July 2015, North Dakota acquired a new state historic site: the Welk Homestead, in Emmons County. The Ludwig and Christina Welk homestead came to public notice as the birthplace of historic bandleader Laurence Welk. With its acquisition by the state, the site will be interpreted along new lines, including the history of agriculture and the culture of the Germans from Russia. This circular establishes the Welk Homestead as a site of homesteading history and provides sources for interpretation along such lines.
