Lisbon parade

Lisbon

 Nestled in the Sheyenne National Grasslands, Lisbon is a gateway to Fort Ransom State Park and the southern terminus for the Sheyenne River Valley National Scenic Byway.

The Sheyenne River flows freely through town, highlighting the area’s excellent outdoor recreation offerings and outlining the quaint downtown that features a refurbished opera house and unique shopping and dining.

The Lisbon Opera House is a tribute to the community’s can-do spirit. The 1890s structure on Main Street is open for tours and community events. Two doors down, the Scenic Theater has shown movies continuously since 1911 and proclaims itself the oldest continuously running theater in America.

Moving out of downtown, racing enthusiasts can watch drivers go round and round the quarter-mile Sheyenne River Speedway or get in nine (or more) holes of golf at Lisbon Bissell Golf Course. Farther out, adventure seekers will come across nearby Sheyenne State Forest, Fort Ransom State Park and the byway. Kayakers can paddle the gentle Sheyenne River at the park and a drive along the byway features wooded hillsides unique to this part of North Dakota.

Be sure to check out the Ransom County Fair every August in Lisbon.
