North Dakota was the 39th state to be admitted into statehood 11/2/1889. Visiting North Dakota is a portal to a distant time. Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea, General Custer, Sitting Bull, and President Teddy Roosevelt all lived out larger-than-life adventures in North Dakota! Visitors can follow in their footsteps or blaze your own path and discover what makes North Dakota a great place to visit. In North Dakota one can follow the trail of Lewis and Clark, or visit Medicine Hole, where the Sioux climbed to escape Custer's troops. Also while in ND one might visit the United Tribes International Powwow, which is the best way to experience historic and modern Native American culture. |

To round out your western experience, visit one of North Dakota's five
forts. In the old west town of Medora one can visit the Chateau deMores,
the home of the original settlers of Medora. Medora also offers plenty of
entertainment with the Medora Musical, performed nightly in the
amphitheater. The Medora Musical is different every year and features
performers from all over the globe. While in Medora one might also decide
to get in tune with nature Medora offers horse back riding, camping, fishing,
and borders Theodore Roosevelt National park.
North Dakota has a strong grasp on it's past with so much history to offer,
however, the future of North Dakota relies greatly on it's agricultural
industry and ranching.
Where there are cowboys there will be rodeos, the true sport
of the wild west!
So whether your interests lie in hunting, fishing, history, or plain relaxation
North Dakota is a wonderful place to kick up your heels.
