Best college town in every state

Best college towns in America: Fargo, North Dakota (Home of North Dakota State University)

It’s North Dakota, so most would assume the things to do start and finish with “nature”, but Fargo has a surprisingly entertaining district that will keep tourists busy for days. The Plains Art Museum has permanent works by Andy Warhol and George Morrison. It also highlights works of art from local artists. The pioneer village called Bonanzaville really takes you back to the late 19th century. There are 400,000 artifacts in this area, including 40 buildings built to take you back in time.

Former home run king Roger Maris grew up in parts of Fargo, and now there is a museum dedicated to his contributions to the game of baseball. It includes inscriptions on some of the baseballs he hit during that magical 61-dinger season back in 1961.

Of course, there are some instances where the famous movie and ensuing television series are mentioned throughout Fargo. One of the major props, the woodchipper, can be seen inside the visitor’s center. You can also see the wood chipper’s stunt double of sorts.

Bison football is still king of Fargo, North Dakota. They have been a dominant football team, including winning five straight national championships last decade. It doesn’t matter that this is a second-division team, everyone loves North Dakota State in Fargo. Winning will do that. The atmosphere before the game shows of a team that’s used to winning, and every week fans and students are ready to celebrate.
