2022 Preservation Awards
Preservation Award
Probstfield Farmhouse
4626 Oakport St N, Moorhead
The 1868 log cabin - the oldest standing home in the Red River Valley - was built by the Probstfield family. The Probstfield Foundation has performed several preservation projects on the property. In 2018 the roof was redone, and current projects include renovating the interior and exterior. The Foundation is aiming to bring the notched-log structure back to its original 1880s footprint.
Preservation Award
Railroad Flats

Railroad Flats at 402 and 404 7th Ave South are owned by Kristi Fremstad. Kristi at one time served on the Historic Preservation Commission. Built in 1917, the Flats housed railroad workers. Today, they are still affordable housing. The Flats have been preserved, both interior and exterior.
Heritage Landscape Award
Savers Property

A Russian Olive Heritage Tree has been discovered in an urban setting on the West Acres property. The North Dakota Forest Service reviews its biggest trees annually.
This tree is new to the registry. The address of the tree is 1623 38th St SW. A Russian Olive can grow up to 100 years old and can withstand extreme conditions.
In Iran, a dried powder of the fruit is mixed with milk to treat rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain. The state’s tallest tree is a cottonwood in Ransom County with a height of 115 feet. In addition to the Russian Olive, new champion trees this year are a Green Ash in Bismarck and an Ohio Buckeye in Valley City.
