The Pioneer Daughters Club of Pembina County was chartered in 1941. The majority of the members were either original settlers or their descendants. Organized to honor early pioneers, the club eventually recorded the early history of Pembina County. The Club's first project was to collect the histories of the earliest pioneer mothers, focusing on women with children who had arrived in the county prior to 1890. Eventually, the project expanded to include doctors and notable religious figures. By 1960, the Pioneer Daughters were actively researching and collecting information on all facets of life in Pembina County.
They preserved a lot of early history. At one time the Pembina County chapter had over 300 members. They have since disbanded, as they were down to 5 or 6 members, all in their 80’s. In the active years of the organization, the Pioneer Daughters had 8 or 9 historical markers placed around the county. This is one of those markers.
