The McLean County Historical Society, organized in 1967, preserves history and shares it with the public in a series of museums located in Washburn, North Dakota, the McLean County seat. Included in the museums are two main museum buildings, the Joe Taylor Cabin, the Sioux Ferryboat, and an old school house. Up until 1997, the society also maintained historic Fort Mandan, a replica of where Lewis and Clark wintered in 1804.
