North Dakota
The State: North Dakota, one of the most rural States in the USA, is famous
for its scenery and Old West heritage. Fargo, on the eastern border, is the
State’s largest city. The metropolitan area of Fargo-Moorhead is a prime
tourist destination, with attractions such as Plains Art Museum, Red River
Zoo, Fargo Air Museum, Children’s Museum at Yunker Farm and Bonanzaville
(a restored pioneer village). The Reineke Fine Arts Center, at the North Dakota
State University, has music, theatre and other events, while the nearby FargoDome
hosts the NDSU football team, as well as other sporting events and popular
music acts.
The 28,329 hectare (70,000 acre) Theodore Roosevelt National Park set in the
Badlands of western North Dakota offers spectacular views and includes the
restored cow-town of Medora. The park takes its name from Theodore Roosevelt,
who bought Elkorn Ranch here after his wife and his mother died on the same
day on 14 Feb 1884. He found inspiration among the quiet canyons of ‘rough-rider
country’, famously declaring ‘I never would have been President
if it weren’t for my experiences in North Dakota’. The South Unit
of the park features a 58km (36 mile) scenic automobile loop, an excellent
way to see this area. On the loop itself, Wind Canyon is a constantly evolving
site, formed by winds blowing against the soft clay. Still in the park, Peaceful
Valley Ranch offers a variety of horseback excursions, while Maltese Cross
Cabin, Roosevelt’s first cabin in the State, is still open to the public
today.
Fort Abraham Lincoln, south of Mandan, was the final command and home of Lt
Colonel George Custer, where he and his Seventh Cavalry departed for the Battle
of Little Bighorn. On 25 June 1876, Custer’s entire command of 265 men
was wiped out in a 20-minute battle with the Sioux, led by Sitting Bull, Gall
and Crazy Horse. It is still possible to see Custer’s house and inspect
the commissary and barracks of this famous fort. The On-A-Slant Indian Village
nearby traces the area’s history from the first Native American settlements.
Other North Dakota attractions include the recreation areas around Lake Sakakawea
and the Little Missouri River; the Fort Union Trading Post and Knife River
Indian Villages National Historic Sites; the Custer House, Fort Lincoln; and
the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.
