Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center — Attraction in North Dakota

This is a great stop if you are driving by on a road trip. I think this interpretive center is located next to or at a highway rest stop.

The staff was extremely friendly. Staff quickly explained there was a tour about to start at the Fort Mandan Historical site (reviewed separately) and that tickets are purchased at this center.

They talk about much more than I didn't know about and about the origins of farming in the area. We didn't go to the ban deck view. Wish we had now. It looked too have an amazing view. Oh, and just give yourself 5 to 10 minutes to get to the fort They have tours on the hour. We almost missed the turn, if you get to the dirt road, you just passed it. And at the dead end loop there is a beautiful view of the river and lots of paths to walk...
