Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Easter Egg Hunt To Be Held March 31

Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center, in cooperation with the Trenton Fire Department, will hold an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 31, beginning at 1 p.m. This special community event will offer children not only the chance to chase down those elusive Easter Eggs at the Confluence, but also allow them to enjoy the educational opportunities provided by the Confluence Center’s exhibits. The eggs will be hidden in three locations, with the children divided into three age groups.

The Trenton Fire Department has been hosting this event to local children for more than 15 years. This marks the fourth year the Confluence Center and Trenton Fire Department have joined forces to offer the children the best Easter Egg Hunt experience possible.

The event is free and open to the public. Free refreshments will also be available. In the event of inclement weather, please call 701-572-9034 for an alternate date for the egg hunt. Participants are encouraged to come early and register for door prizes.

Located one-half mile east of Fort Buford, the Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center tells the story of the Confluence of these two mighty rivers, as well as provides the same magnificent view that Lewis and Clark Expedition members enjoyed when they visited in 1805 and 1806.

The Confluence Center is open year-round. Its winter hours are in effect, and are 9 a.m.-4 p.m., Wednesdays-Saturdays, and 1-5 p.m. Sundays. It is closed on New Year’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Admissions to the Center’s exhibits are $2.50/adult, $1.25/child, ages 6-15, and children 5 and under are admitted free.

Free admission to all sites administered by the State Historical Society of North Dakota (SHSND) is one of the many benefits for members of the SHSND Foundation. Others include a 15% discount on museum store purchases, and the quarterly publications North Dakota History and Plains Talk.
