Thanks for picking up the 2011 North Dakota

Travel Guide. Did you know that North Dakota’s

tourism grew more than any other state in the nation

in recent years? It’s true, and it may surprise you

until you come and experience the extraordinary

qualities of this beautiful state firsthand.

North Dakota is rich with arts, culture, history,

attractions, scenery and fun things to see and do. We

are proud of the stories that make up the North

Dakota experience. We are proud to have been home

to historical figures like Theodore Roosevelt and

Sakakawea. We are proud of our rugged Badlands,

rolling hills, wetland wildlife refuges and scenic

byways.

We are especially proud to be a national leader in

agriculture and energy production and our growth in

attracting more visitors. Driving many of our

highways, you will see wind farms and oil fields

helping to grow our nation’s future. You will see

cattle pastures and fields growing corn for renewable

ethanol—and wheat, durum and barley for the

world’s bread and pasta. If you would like to learn

more, please ask about our vacation packages

featuring our farms, ranches and gardens, some

dating back to the bonanza farm days when our

family first set root in North Dakota.

Many people living and visiting here have

reconnected with something legendary inside

themselves. Come and share the experience with us.

Thanks for visiting North Dakota.

Do olittle’s in Farg o, Dan Koeck

Sincerely,

Jack and Betsy Dalrymple

Governor and First Lady

Agriculture Facts

Chances are the flour in your hamburger bun, the

beef for your burger, and the potatoes for your

Kick start your ND adventure with a menu of

fun facts. Challenge your travel companions,

or test your ND knowledge before you

embark on the wide-ranging and Legendary

good times that await you here.

Statehood

President Benjamin Harrison went to great

lengths to obscure the order in which the

statehood proclamations of North and South

Dakota were signed on Nov. 2, 1889, so the exact

order in which the two states entered the union is

unknown. However, because of alphabetical

position, ND is often considered the 39th state.

State Capitol, Bismarck

Harvest

Capital City - Bismarck

The ND capitol building was constructed in 1934

after a fire destroyed the original building. The

capitol stands a towering 19 stories with its

Modern style architecture and Art Deco interior.

Agriculture is North Dakota’s top industry, and

each year our farmers produce enough:

Wheat for 15.5 billion loaves of bread

Potatoes for 171 million servings of French fries

Beef for 103 million hamburgers
