MYCIC's temporary exhibit (on display until April 2010) is "North Dakota Remembers World War II". This exhibit features a selection of the more than 1,200 interviews collected through the North Dakota Veterans History Project coordinated by the State Historical Society of North Dakota (SHSND). Presenting stories of North Dakotans, representing all branches of the armed forces and experiences worldwide, the exhibit also features World War II-era uniforms, medals, photographs and other artifacts related to personal experiences in the war.
Permanent exhibits at the Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center will explore the geography and geology of the area, its prehistoric life, and the impact of people arriving by Trails, Tracks, Rivers and Roads, which is also the name of the exhibits area. Featured in the 2,000-square-foot permanent gallery will be the Lewis and Clark journey, the fur trade era, Fort Buford, and the development of the modern-day irrigation and energy industries. There are more than 200 artifacts in the permanent gallery, including a frontier army transport wagon, a steamboat pilot's navigating wheel, and a 1903 Cadillac.
