What Lies At The Center Between Two Western Countries

By Larry Kelly


You have finally been given the chance to travel from work. You were given the privilege to travel in the United States of America. Your tourist visa has all been prepared for you by the company and all set to go. But you cannot help wonder where they are planning to send you. They just tell you that you are going to visit the center of America, a certain city in the west. That is named Wahpeton.

This is a city in North Dakota. Compared to Bismarck, this place is not very well known especially for travelers. But it is always good to have an idea what the city offers. There is nothing wrong with being knowledgeable in other cities in America. If not the type who likes to visit places that are crowded because everybody knows about it, then this might be one. Of course, there are many more cities that you can venture off but it is where your company is sending you for the time being.

A main attraction in that place is for the outdoor types. They offer fishing and camping sites and the place is called Kidder Recreation Area. Wahpper, the biggest catfish in the whole world, lives here. This park has twenty six acres and offers other recreational activities other than the two.

This city also has a golf course that is in between two states. The first nine holes inside North Dakota and other nine in Minnesota. So basically the two share this golf course. The name is Bois de Sioux. It is open to everyone, novices and experts alike. You might want to learn a new sport while you are there.

You may want this place to bring back your childhood days. They actually do and have the Prairie Rose Carousel. Riding a carousel definitely brings back your inner child out. This carousel is actually an antique that was restored. This carousel has twenty horses for you to choose from, two chariots and a calliope. The carousel is also beside a chapel.

A zoo called the Chahinkapa is also one of the main attractions there. It does not only have a hundred species of animals but it has three hundred. And all these species came from six continents. Plus the zoo has a petting area where you get to touch those animals new to you.

Art is also an attraction in the city. Not all places appreciate art and yet this city has two buildings that conserve the beauty of art. It has the Richland County Historical Museum and the Red Door Art Gallery. This is not the only red door art gallery though but for the historical museum, it displays artifacts of the Native Americans in the state.

History is also preserved in this city. The Bagg Bonanza Farm Historic site and the Ringling Brothers Circus monument are the historical attraction of the city. They both share their own specific story and are kept alive as new generations come. A history of a certain place usually brings the past living in present days all the way to the future.

These are just a few information of what is there. You may want to venture their restaurants if you are a food lover. They could have exquisite food that you may have never tasted before or go to the restaurants that is popular everywhere in America. And if sooner or later, you might want to really have a vacation in the area and try the hotels and motels.
