The History of the Northern Plains National Heritage Area
On March 30, 2009, the Northern Plains National Heritage Area became a reality when the U.S. Congress designated the Northern Plains National Heritage Area and named the Northern Plains Heritage Foundation as its coordinating entity. This builds on and carries forward a legacy started when President Ronald Reagan signed the Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Area into existence on August 24, 1984.
