Nicodemus represents the involvement of African Americans in the homesteading movement across the Great Plains. A few descendents of the original settlers still live there, and many others return for the annual reunion.<br><br>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/nico\/planyourvisit\/the-five-historic-buildings.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Five Historic Buildings<\/a> (2 are open, 3 need work) which represent the spirit of Nicodemus &#8211; church, self-government, education, home, and business. We learned the history of Nicodemus via the resident Ranger, displays and a number of videos at Nicodemus Township Hall, which houses the Visitor Center, and then walked around to see the others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-delay=\"5\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(750 \/ 423)\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-18345\" data-id=\"18345\" data-aspect-ratio=\"750 \/ 423\" src=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-1-1024x577.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-1-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-1-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-1-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Nicodemus Township Hall &#038;  Nicodemus NHS Visitor Center<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-18342\" data-id=\"18342\" data-aspect-ratio=\"750 \/ 423\" src=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-2-1024x577.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-2-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-2-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-2-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Nicodemus NHS-St. Francis Hotel, Fletcher-Switzer Residence, and 1st Post Office<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-18344\" data-id=\"18344\" data-aspect-ratio=\"750 \/ 423\" src=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-3-1024x577.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-3-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-3-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/streaming2nps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2026-08-13-a-Nicodemus-National-Historic-Site-3-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Nicodemus NHS-The African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.)
