4. 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
The Stutsman County Courthouse, built in 1883, is the oldest surviving courthouse in North Dakota and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. During the days of the Dakota Territory, meetings were held in the courthouse in preparation for statehood. The building is considered a superb but rare example in the Upper Midwest of the Gothic-Revival style of architecture. The interior is outstanding for its stamped metal ornamentation that dates to 1905. Restoration efforts have been continuous since the 1990s. In recent years, the courthouse has seen tremendous progress on the interior restoration. Visitors to the site will truly see historic preservation in action!

Informative, worthwhile and quick stop right off 94 that helps educate the traveler about the American bison and Native Americans and the effort to rehabilitate what was done in the past. Thoughtful museum that is well-curated and not touristy. Huge bison statue and small bison herd are great to see!

We came for the worlds largest buffalo and came away impressed with all of the history at this stop. While the buffalo is huge there are old school houses, church, jail, printing press, library and more buildings to see in great detail what life would have been like on the open frontier. There is also a herd of buffalo near the buffalo museum. Easy stop just off of interstate 80 to break up the drive in or through North Dakota.
