Minot

Minot is best known within North Dakota for Norsk Høstfest, an annual celebration of Scandinavian heritage. Set on the Souris River in the state’s north-central prairie country, the city developed rapidly after the Great Northern Railway reached the site in 1886, earning the enduring nickname “Magic City.” Scandinavian Heritage Park brings together monuments and buildings representing the Nordic countries, including a full-scale replica of Norway’s Gol Stave Church. Minot is also the main urban centre near Minot Air Force Base, an important United States Air Force installation. Its river corridor and open plains place it firmly within the northern Great Plains.
