Synopsis A home movie filmed by Garmon Winckler on a Crown 8-T3 8mm camera of the Winckler's family trips starting at the International Peace Gardens, followed by the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Prairie Dog Town, and the Dakota Zoo.

Collection Description This film (Winckler_0007) is part of the Garmon Winckler Family Films and Audio Collection . “Many of the films in this collection are that of family vacations, which were primarily recorded in two of North Dakota's prime destinations at the time: Medora and the International Peace Garden.

The collection also includes my parents' wedding day…
