Description
A set of four silver spoons that commemorate North Dakota's centennial (1889-1989). Each spoon has a different engraved head on their handles, included the ND Seal, flower, bird and tree. The spoons can be displayed from a hanger with the engraved saying "Strength from the soil".
These spoons donated to the TCHS Plummer House Museum were purchased by Liv (Paulson) Norderhaug to honor the memory of her maternal grandmother Selma (Baglien-Walters) Jalbert, who was born in Hillsboro to pioneer parents, Ole I. and Maren (Swenson) Baglien and raised by her Aunt Bertha (Swenson) Walters and Uncle Jake Walters.
