Is this the entryway for the lake's purported sea monster'...Surely no North Dakota county would evict a 74-year-old man for owing just $108 in back property taxes. Wanna bet'...You, probably, know that the Marquis de Mores operated a packing plant at Medora, but did you know he killed several people and was tried for murder in North Dakota'...Why won't this Powers Lake man sell a meteorite estimated to be worth $400,000'...Imagine standing on the prairie watching 50,000 buffalo graze! Imagine watching as 5000 of them are slaughtered in what some say was the state's last great buffalo hunt!...Did you know Governor John Moses gave his speeches in English, German, or Norwegian depending on his audience? Find out why Gov. Tom Moodie was ousted after serving just five weeks in office...Do James and Patricia LaFountain really see the Virgin Mary's image each morning when they look out their kitchen window'...Why was Kate Richards O'Hare sentenced to serve five years in prison after giving a speech in Bowman'...So, you've been to the cairn in Rugby and stood at the geographic center of the continent.
