The wide prairies, the rustic landscape and even the lives and culture of the Native Americans are all essential parts of North Dakota's vast history. Learn about it all when you plan a visit to the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck. This impressive venue has the distinction of being the largest museum in the state. The wide variety of exhibits examines what life was like on the northern plains from prehistory all the way to the present day. It is a truly fascinating historical journey!

If you think that the concept of the cowboy was invented by John Wayne-types, Bismarck's North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame will challenge everything you think you know about cattle rustlers from the past. This attraction is an interpretive center for the history of Native Americans, and you will see the dramatic link between their culture to various “western” traditions like the rodeo, ranching, and the rustic “cowboy” lifestyle that owes much to the tribes that first inhabited the land.

Great performances don't just happen. Lots of intense practice, planning, rehearsal, and effort have to be put forth in order to ensure that the absolute best entertainment makes it to the stage for audiences to enjoy. That is the philosophy of the staff at the Belle Mehus Auditorium. Whether it is a sweeping classical performance, an engaging dramatic comedy or one of today's latest musical acts, they can all rest assured that the show will go on in the best possible way when it takes place on Bismarck's Belle Mehus Auditorium stage.
