BISMARCK, ND—The Bismarck Historical Society is releasing the first episode of a new podcast this week.
“History Hotdish” is a casual conversation about the historical people and events – the not-so-secret ingredients – in the recipe of Bismarck’s culture and heritage. The first episode of the podcast will focus on where the City of Bismarck began, at Camp Hancock. Camp Hancock Site Supervisor Johnathan Campbell will discuss the history of the military installation that would eventually become North Dakota’s Capital City.
“This is a perfect topic for the podcast’s maiden voyage,” said Bismarck Historical Society’s Jason Tomanek. “The story of Camp Hancock sets the stage for everything that follows in Bismarck’s storied history.”
Camp Hancock is located at 101 East Main Avenue in Bismarck. The site began as Camp Greeley in 1872, but its name was changed to Camp Hancock in 1873. The military post was built to help protect supplies, equipment and engineering crews of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and eventually the town of Edwinton’s first citizens.
Catch “History Hotdish” on Radio Access (102.5 FM) on Wednesdays at 10 AM, Fridays at 1 PM and Sundays at 8 PM. Episodes are also available on-demand and wherever great podcasts are found.
