KULM - A series of free public programs commemorating key anniversaries at the Whitestone Hill Battlefield State Historic Site near Kulm will be featured Sept. 5 and Sept. 7.

On Sept. 5, the ninth annual Education Day will be held at the site, marking the 145th anniversary of the Battle of Whitestone Hill.

That day's programs are targeted to attract fourth grade and upper elementary students and teacher groups from area schools, but the general public is also invited to attend.

Beginning at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 7, there will be a public program featuring the combined talents of the Larsen Brothers from Taylor and the Old Five 'N Dimers from Mandan. The public is invited to bring their own chairs and blankets. Following the performance, a catered barbeque meal will be served at the site for a small fee.

The Whitestone Hill Battlefield State Historic Site can be reached by traveling from Kulm south 12 miles on N.D. Highway 56, then east four miles on a gravel road, then north nearly two miles to the site.
