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 at the North Dakota Heritage Center - a state museum with amazing fossils, including one of the rarest: a mummified dinosaur named Dakota.
The Dickinson Dinosaur Museum and the Pioneer Trails Regional Musuem in Bowman are two additional must-visit places for dino fans.
Additional information on the prehistoric history of North Dakota is available through the state's Geological Survey.
