OK your in the very center of North America. But other than a plaque there is nothing there. Ok your as far away from any ocean you can get, but why does this location get no support?
Neat to say you've been to this site in Rugby, sadly there's not much else around to do though. Rugby is about two hours east of Minot and probably three west of Grand Forks. There is Devil's Lake area for outdoors stuff like hunting and fishing (I hear fishing is great in Devil's Lake).
Geographical Center of America is the only one of its' kind............a beautiful rock built cairn!
The cairn monument is easy to find, right on the main highway. Although I still wonder whether this is the actual Geographical Center of North America, it was enough for me that the claim was made at one time. I took my pictures, then found the amazing Prairie Village Museum down the road a piece.
If you're traveling to the Peace Gardens or along Highway 2, be sure to stop. It's a fun photo op and you'll be as far away from the ocean as is possible in NA. Stop by the museum, too.
It was just there I wouldn't make a special trip to see it inless you are a geography buff, it was a nice looking little town.
