Dickinson

Eons of history are on display at the Dickinson Museum Center in Dickinson.

Located in southwestern North Dakota, Dickinson is the “Queen City of the Prairies,” the gateway to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and home to Dickinson State University. This thriving community of 20,000 is large enough to offer city amenities, but small enough for that friendly home-town feeling.
