Lawrence Welk Documentary Screening – Pembina State Museum
November “Monthly Movie Matinee”
Saturday, Nov. 15 | Three screenings at 12:30, 2 and 3:30 p.m.
Pop and popcorn will be available for sale in the Museum Store.
Produced by Prairie Public in partnership with the State Historical Society of North Dakota and the Friends of the Welk Homestead, the documentary, “Lawrence Welk: A North Dakota Farm Boy”, was released in July 2025 and tells the story of the life of Lawrence Welk.
Born to German Russian immigrant parents in Strasburg, North Dakota, Welk built a strong work ethic and love for music growing up on the family farmstead. After touring the Midwest in his 20s, he was scouted by ABC in 1955 to create the iconic “The Lawrence Welk Show,” which still runs on public television stations today—including Prairie Public.
The Pembina State Museum, located at 805 Highway 59, Pembina, is managed by the State Historical Society of North Dakota. Admission to the museum and observation tower is $10. The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
