Williston, the economic center of northwest North Dakota, has recently seen a population boon and consequential investment in its social and public infrastructure, thus making it a perfect stop on your journey along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail.

Highly interconnected to both the United States and Canada thanks to its brand new international airport, visitors will find a young, vibrant area with a revitalized downtown. The region houses multiple museums including Buffalo Trails Museum, Frontier Museum and the Norseman Museum along with other destinations of touristic value. Most notably, just 23 miles outside of town, the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers is home to three remarkable attractions: Fort Buford State Historic Site, Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site,  and the Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center.

We invite you to “tap into the energy” of Williston and its surroundings, sure to excite new and old visitors alike.
