MEDORA

     The historic Old West town of Medora is the front gate to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and quite an attraction itself. The famous Medora Musical lights up the Burning Hills Amphitheater nightly in the summer. Sunset playing across the Bad Lands compete with the professional cast for the audience's attention. Medora's boardwalks are lined with curio shops, shooting galleries, Western museums and authentic, preserved reminders of its rough-and-ready past, including saloons with swinging doors and the Roughrider Hotel where Teddy stayed.

 A popular family activity and a great way  to see the Bad Lands is a trail ride, which can vary from one hour to several days. Brimming with campgrounds, shops and 350 motel rooms, Medora is North Dakota's tourist spot. Where City Slickers Become Rough Riders. Bully Good Times in Medora!

FARGO

 North Dakota's largest city, Fargo is a bustling metropolitan area in the midst of farm riches. Fargo has the state's only children's museum (Yunker Farm) and the biggest mall (West Acres), housing the Roger Maris Museum, which is dedicated to the Fargo native who hit more home runs in a year than did Babe Ruth.

The well-preserved historic downtown is where you can find the Fargo Theatre, a 1926 vaudeville and silent film-hall with a working "Mighty Wurlitzer" pipe organ. The art modern interior is a fitting place for art films, stage plays and second-run movies.
Attractions in Fargo include the Plains Art Museum, among others; great public and private golf courses; parks; pools and, on summer weekends, a variety of live performances at Trollwood Park.
