Archaeology & Paleontology
Millions of years before North Dakota was a state, prehistoric creatures were living out their legendary adventure. Today, visitors can explore fossil-bearing sites ranging in age from 30 years to 73 million years. Literally get your hands dirty excavating prehistoric sites through an education vacation and fossil dig. One-day and week-long adventures are available.
If you'd prefer to see this Jurassic history rather than finding it first hand, visitors delight in the North Dakota Heritage Center - a state museum with amazing fossils, including one of the rarest: a mummified dinosaur named Dakota.
Dickinson Dinosaur Museum and Pioneer Trails Regional Musuem in Bowman are two more must-see places for dino fans.
Additional information on the prehistoric history of North Dakota is available through the state's Geological Survey.
