    We stopped to see the World's Largest Buffalo that we saw from I94. Bonus - we did not know about the Frontier Village. We dedcided to check it out and we are glad we did. There were a lot of neat little shops and you could read about the historical displays. Admission is FREE (there is a box for donations). We did not go into the National Buffalo Museum (admission required). We did speak with a lady who was in the Visitor Information Center. She was very friendly & gave us some info about Medora and Theodore Rooseveldt National Park. We spent about 45 minutes taking pictures and walking around. It was nice to get out of the car for a while before we drove to our hotel in Dickinson. Worth the stop.

    You can explore the grounds and shops without a ticket! We saved our money for a horse ride which the kids enjoyed much more than the museum:) Fun to step back into a mockup of an old city and show the kids a small piece of how it once was.

    Steve was a fantastic guide. It is a true gem of a building. Hearing the history of how close it came to being destroyed was hard to take in. I am a former court stenographer and county clerk. I love to tour courthouses across the country as we travel. This was among the best we have seen.

    We checked this place out with our kids while in town to visit grandparents. This little museum was closed last time we were here, but this time was open. It is an old house filled up with various types of historical artifacts put into every corner possible, from the basement to the third floor bedrooms. First, it really is a neat old house and you can just appreciate that to start. Then you can dig into the rooms and rooms and rooms of items. The basement was the most interesting to me with tools, medical equipment, sports items, and even a post office setup. They let you walk through freely and you can do an audio tour if you wish. I think we were the only ones in the place during our time and we could take as long as we wanted in each room.

    We were admiring the basilica from the outside and were surprised to find that the door was actually open during the day. There were a few people inside doing private prayer, so we had a good look around. Inside and outside this us a stunning basilica

    Beautiful old school house. Went from 1-6th grade. Restored very nicely. Many memories brought back upon entering.

    We were at one of the arts events in the square across the street, and I wandered in. Nice little gallery. There was an interesting show up and the amount of art fit the space well. It was "unmanned" while I was there, but that was likely since the staff was running the event in the square.

    I travel and have stopped in to get 'buffalo pins' to give to people I meet to spread the Jamestown name. They have been great in supplying them and exceed my expectations.

    The site is a reenactment of an old west town with a stage coach ride and lots of artifacts in the buildings. One building is for Loius L'amore. This is not the walking tour

    We had a break while at a conference and wanted a bit of fresh air and nature. The reservoir is well kept & clean, with nice path for biking, walking, running. An island with disc golf course was a relaxing place to go for an afternoon walk. A gift to this area.

    This is one of the many forgotten western forts established to manage the expected Indian problems which did not happen, as such it is closed. There is moor so one needs to visit.

    The First Assembly of God is completely beige.

    It has a lot of parking places.

    I like the tall trees near the church.

    The members of this church like their pastor, as he is very friendly.

    Worthwhile to see!

    We enjoyed the museum cases in the hallways full of memorabilia from ND athletes including Phil Jackson, Roger Maris, Phil Hanson and Darin Erstad. We had no idea some of these nationally known athletes were from ND!
