Things to do in Bismarck

Bismarck is the capital of North Dakota, set on the east bank of the Missouri River across from Mandan. State government is a major employer, and the city has become a center for energy, healthcare and finance, with MDU Resources headquartered here and many companies involved in the oil fields of the Bakken to the west. The city’s skyline is dominated by the State Capitol, a 19-story Art Deco tower known as the Skyscraper on the Prairie, and its history stretches back to the Mandan villages and the Lewis and Clark expedition.
