North Dakota
7 Breathtaking Towns to Visit in North Dakota
North Dakota is a sparsely populated state; the 70,000-square-mile region claims fewer than 800,000 residents, yet some of its secluded towns are so extraordinary travelers often wonder why there aren’t more people here! With a giant amphitheater, an Indigenous village, peace gardens and more, North Dakota offers up some of the most breathtaking landscapes and attractions. From quaint Medora to the historic Fort Ransom, the following ND communities are liable to take your breath away.
Medora
Home to about 120 people, Medora attracts thousands of tourists via Theodore Roosevelt National Park within the Little Missouri National Grassland. This million-acre expanse of badlands, grasslands, and petrified woods engulfs the community and fuels its economy, although Medora has several of its own spectacular attractions. These include the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame, Chateau de Mores State Historic Site, Rushmore Mountain Taffy Shop, and Pitchfork Steak Fondue. The last of those is a “badlands barbecue” consisting of New York strip steaks impaled on pitchforks and dunked in barrels of oil. But the most breathtaking attraction in Medora (aside from the literally breathtaking terrain of Theodore Roosevelt National Park) is the Medora Musical, a lovely musical revue at the open-air, 2,800-plus-seat Burning Hills Amphitheater. It is called “The Greatest Show in the West” and we can understand why.
Stanton
Stanton straddles a tributary of the Missouri River called the Knife River, which is famous for the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site. Sitting a half-mile north of town, it is a preserve of Hidatsa tribal grounds, complete with remnants of centuries-old villages enmeshed in beautiful riverside scenery. The highlight is a reconstructed 40-foot earth lodge with a seating area, cache pit, fire pit, corral, shrine, and platform beds. From the Indian Villages, tourists can recharge with food and drink at The River Run, Inc. or a nap at the Sakakawea Park Campground before heading north to Lake Sakakawea and its namesake park or east to Washburn and its heritage haunts. The Fort Clark State Historic Site, Fort Mandan State Historic Site, and Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center surround Stanton’s slightly larger neighbor.
Jamestown
Jamestown is the ninth-largest community in North Dakota despite equating to roughly 15,000 people! A non-misleading Jamestown superlative is that it has the World’s Largest Buffalo Monument, which is 26 feet tall, 46 feet long, and weighs 60 tons. If your jaw will not drop for a concrete bison, perhaps it will for real bison – specifically, white bison. The North American Bison Discovery Center has a bison herd and museum, which displays the taxidermized body of Mahpiya Ska (AKA White Cloud), an extremely rare albino that headlined the herd for almost two decades. White Cloud had a white calf named Dakota Miracle, who also passed away. Another white bison, Dakota Legend, is presumably still alive and roaming the preserve.
Take that gaped mouth over to Jonny B’s Brickhouse for wood-fired pizza. Sufficiently stuffed, you can tour historic downtown buildings like the Stutsman County Memorial Museum, Stutsman County Courthouse State Historic Site, and St. James Basilica, a Vatican-worthy church in the middle of North Dakota.
Rugby
Rugby has a scrum of attractions. This 2,500ish-person “city,” named after the town of Rugby, England, is considered the geographical center of North America and has a 21-foot stone obelisk in commemoration. But it is just a quarter of the size of another Rugby sculpture, the Northern Lights Tower, which stands more than 88 feet and is dedicated to the aurora borealis.
After rounding out your Rugby tour at the Prairie Village & Museum, drive north to Bottineau to see 30-foot Tommy the Turtle at the gateway to the Turtle Mountains and then to the Canadian border for one of ND’s top attractions, the International Peace Garden. It spans nearly 2,400 acres of indoor and outdoor gardens and is so iconic that ND’s official nickname is the Peace Garden State.
Fort Ransom
Claim Fort Ransom for a scenic ND vacation. Among its luxuriant loot are Fort Ransom State Park, a 950-acre nature preserve along the Sheyenne River; Pyramid Hill, a mysterious earthen mound topped with a 25-foot Viking statue; and the Sheyenne River State Forest, which contains North Dakota’s only registered waterfall. Other scenic spoils in the area include the Sheyenne National Grassland, Fort Ransom State Historic Site, and Thor’s and The Old Mill Grill. Fort Ransom has only about 100 residents but deep Norwegian roots, which explains the Viking statue and Thor-themed pub. Some believe that Vikings sailed up the Sheyenne River, but this is pseudohistorical.
Richardton
If you thought Jamestown’s basilica was the only out-of-place shrine in North Dakota, check out Richardton’s St. Mary’s Church/Assumption Abbey, which looks like it came from Medieval Europe. Sure enough, the abbey was founded by a monk from Switzerland’s Benedictine Order, which dates to the Middle Ages. The present building was completed in 1910 and is still run by Benedictine monks.
After getting your Assumption on, you can get your consumption on at El Noa Noa Bar and Grill before heading east to see the 50-foot-long fiberglass cow in New Salem and then continuing on to Mandan for sights at Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park and bites at Frieds Family Restaurant. Try a fleischkuechle, the unofficial state sandwich and a symbol of ND’s German culinary influence.
Regent
Instead of traveling east of Richardton, you can go 15 miles west to Gladstone and then head south to Regent. Make sure to take your time, because the 32-mile road between Gladstone and Regent is called the Enchanted Highway and is lined with massive, magical sculptures. There are nine, including Teddy Roosevelt Rides Again, Sir Albert and the Dragon (in progress), and Geese in Flight, the last of which is 110 feet tall, 154 feet wide, weighs almost 80 tons and was declared the “largest scrap-metal sculpture” by the Guinness Book of World Records. Regent-born Gary Greff built these sculptures to help keep his tiny town alive. It worked since Regent boasts the Enchanted Highway Gift Shop and Enchanted Castle Hotel with the Excalibur Steakhouse.
Do not think that North Dakota is north of anything interesting. The state centers several small communities containing breathtaking attractions, such as Medora and its musical, Stanton and its earth lodge, Jamestown and its buffalo, Rugby and its obelisk, Fort Ransom and its pyramid, Richardton and its abbey, and Regent and its highway. Suffice it to say, do not let this upper Midwestern state pass you by!

DICKINSON — The end of January marks a critical time for teams across Southwest North Dakota. Wins are starting to become premium value, and standings are starting to take shape across all sports.
South Heart @ Hettinger-Scranton — Boys Basketball — Friday, Jan. 30
The Eagles are in the middle of the pack in the District 7 standings, sitting at fifth in the conference with a 1-1 record. South Heart is coming into Friday’s contest winning its last two outings, earning its first District 7 win over New England, 69-49, and then a tight non-conference win over Trenton, 67-58.
The game against New England was a back-and-forth first half, but the Eagles took control in the final 16 minutes, outscoring the Tigers 44-24. Garett Bargmann put up 29 points, which led all players on the floor.
The Nighthawks are heading into Friday’s game dropping their last two games, with the most recent being a close 59-56 loss to Divide County. Hettinger-Scranton led at half time, 25-23, but couldn’t pull away with a win. Gavin Parnow and Aidyn Fisher had strong performances in the game, with 19 and 18 points respectively.
Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. MST at Scranton High School.
Trinity @ Killdeer — Girls Basketball — Friday, Jan. 30
Jacob Cheris / The Dickinson Press
The Titans and Cowboys have played some really close games in the past. But the first meeting between the two clubs was a
lopsided affair that saw the Titans escape with a 55-36
win at the Knights of Columbus Activities Center.
Now the scene will shift to Killdeer in the final contest of the season-set. The Titans have been in some extremely tight games recently and have come out on both sides of the table. Trinity narrowly defeated Shiloh Christian, 46-44, to improve to 6-2 in Region 4 play and 8-6 overall.
The Cowboys are still searching for some consistency. Killdeer is riding a two-game losing skid and has losses in four out of its last five games.
Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. MST at Killdeer High School.
Devils Lake @ Dickinson High — Girls Hockey — Saturday, Jan. 31
Jacob Cheris / The Dickinson Press
The last time these two teams met, the Mavericks won in a 2-1 overtime decision. Saturday’s contest is the back half of a back-to-back home weekend, where DHS will take on Grand Forks on Friday.
Saturday’s game is the best chance DHS has to get in the win column. The Firebirds are currently sitting in last place in the conference and don’t have a win this season. They’ve also struggled to put the puck in the back of the net, scoring just 10 goals through 13 games.
Dickinson (4-10, 1-10-2) was in a tight first period with Bismarck Century last Friday, but things once started to turn sideways in the second period, when the Patriots scored two goals on 19 shots and held DHS to three.
Puck drop is slated for 1 p.m. MST at the West River Ice Center.

BISMARCK, N.D. (North Dakota Monitor) – A committee has forwarded six candidates to Gov. Kelly Armstrong to be the next justice of the North Dakota Supreme Court.
The court seeks a replacement for Justice Daniel Crothers, who announced late last year his plans to retire in February after 20 years on the bench.
The six contenders are:
- Philip Axt, a Bismarck resident and solicitor general for the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office
- Mark Friese, a Fargo defense attorney
- Michael Hurly, a judge for Northeast Judicial District in Rugby
- Ryan Norrell, a Bismarck attorney who served as counsel to former Gov. Doug Burgum
- Jacob Rodenbiker, an assistant U.S. attorney who lives in Fargo
- Kirsten Sjue, a judge for the Northwest Judicial District in Williston
Armstrong, a Republican, can appoint someone from the pool of six, ask the committee for more nominees or refer the matter to the election ballot for a public vote.
The committee could have forwarded up to seven names. A total of 12 candidates applied.
The voting members of the nominating committee are Justice Jerod Tufte, Eric Lahlum, Taylor Olson, Laura Mihalick, Paul Forster and Garth Rydland.
