Tourists, those who tour for pleasure or culture, come to our area to experience the natural diversity, the rich history and the unique people North Dakota has to offer. Long before the modern museums, interpretive centers and outdoor learning sites were developed, our particular area has hosted many of just such tourists; Lewis & Clark, Prince Maximilian, George Catlin and Karl Bodmer. Knife River Indian Villages, Cross Ranch State Park and The Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center are just some of the many places that relate their stories.
