For many travelers with the goal to visit all 50 states in the U.S., North Dakota is the last one. Maybe it’s because the 39th state is pretty far north and not really on the way to somewhere else. Unlike the famous Route 66, which passes through eight states, for instance. Or maybe it’s the lack of mega-attractions like the Grand Canyon or Disney World.

My story, Explore the Rich History, Heritage and Art of Bismarck, ND, as published in She Buys Travel, gives you 10 very good reasons to visit North Dakota’s capital city.

BTW, if North Dakota IS your 50th state, stop by the Visitors Center. The travel counselors there want to celebrate you with swag and social media love!
