9 Best and Fun Things To Do In Jamestown, North Dakota


TouristWire Editors

This historical town is proudly home to the “World’s Largest Buffalo”, a monumental concrete sculpture of an American bison that stands proudly over the community.

It also has a rich pioneering and military history, which visitors can learn more about at the Fort Seward Military Post, Stutsman County Memorial Museum, and National Buffalo Museum.

For a truly immersive experience, we recommend visiting Frontier Village, a reconstructed frontier town that houses numerous artifacts from the region’s pioneer past.

You’ll also find an assortment of art galleries, antique shops, and eateries here, as well as a plethora of outdoor activities to keep you busy when the weather is fine.

All in all, the fascinating history of the area, the beauty of the natural surroundings, all the activities, and, of course, the resident herds of bison, make Jamestown a must-see for anyone visiting North Dakota.
