10 Gift & Specialty Shops in North Dakota That You Shouldn't Miss

March 14, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

If you’ve never thought much about North Dakota, maybe it’s time you started. Boasting miles and miles of hiking trails, including the Lewis and Clark trail, in addition to multiple museums, golf courses, casinos and amusement parks, North Dakota is bursting with things to do. Situated smack between the Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean, North Dakota was once called “America’s Most Affordable Vacation Site” by the American Automobile Association. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are two of North Dakota’s most famous residents. Tracing the courses of the Missouri and Columbia and rivers, the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail stretches through 11 states. Thanks to their explorations, visitors to North Dakota with an interest in history can do some exploring of their own. Bismarck is not only the capital of the state, it’s also home to several Lewis and Clark historical sites including Fort Yates, where the pair stopped to trade with the Mandan Indians. For family fun in Bismarck, don’t miss the Dakota Zoo and Raging Rivers Waterpark. With more golf courses per capita than any other state (11 in Bismarck and Fargo alone), golf lovers are sure to find a course to their liking. Agri-tourism is also a popular activity in North Dakota, which ranks first in the production of spring wheat, durum wheat, sunflowers, barley, honey and other crops.

Made a road trip to Napoleon and Wishek picking up sausage at both places. People say they like Napoleon sausage a bit better but the Wishek homemade bologna is tops at Stans! I have to agree! Both places make ‘great’ sausage but I give the edge to Napoleon!

Widman's Candy Shop

Reviewed By KB-Coloradoan - Castle Rock, United States

This treasure of a candy shop is worth a stop every time you are in Grand Forks. The cheerful interior, the selection and the free sample draw me in. I bought 4 boxes of chippers for gifts. The chocolate covered potato chips are their signature item but lots of other fun items, choc covered olives, pickles, pretzels and other “normal” candy.

Prairie Fire Pottery

Prairie Fire Pottery is the perfect side trip for the interstate traveler, nestled just one mile off I-94 in the small town of Beach, North Dakota. There you'll discover the studio and showroom of North Dakota potter, Tama Smith. Studio tours are available. Prairie Fire Pottery is prized by collectors and pottery enthusiasts for its spectacular, high-fired glaze colors. These beautiful color combinations are reminiscent of the rugged badlands, blazing sunsets, and brilliant blue prairie skies of Tama's western North Dakota home.
