Yegen House and Pioneer Grocery

Yegen House and Pioneer Grocery, located in Bismarck, North Dakota, is a historic site that was built in 1874 by Swiss immigrant John Yegen. It was recognized for its historical significance and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, encompassing three contributing buildings. However, the site faced changes over the years, leading to its delisting in 2011 after the house was demolished and the grocery relocated to the Missouri Valley Fairgrounds in 1993. This site reflects the rich cultural heritage and immigrant history of North Dakota, making it a point of interest for tourists and researchers alike.
