    What an absolutely wonderful experience!! It's a museum with lots of history about pioneer days in…read morethe North Dakota region. We arrived at 12pm and completed the tour at 4pm, so be prepared to walk a lot. It's so worth it and there are benches all around to sit. There is an eating area as well with picnic tables. It's a walk through a nice village filled with memorabilia donated from the 1880s and 1900s. There are many antique homes, banks, drug stores, antique cars, planes, church, telephones, saloon, barbershop, ice creamery etc, to see from long ago. We had a super day and learned a lot. There are many photo opts as well. Great for the family, adults and kids as well. There's a gift shop on the premises, with souvenirs and snacks. I totally recommend!!

    Excellent stop. This outdoor museum includes historic buildings that were moved to this site…read moreincluding the first house (cabin) in Fargo, a German immigrants home, newspaper office with printing presses, barber shop, dry goods store, apothicary, fire station, sherifff office, saloon, and so much more. They also have an 80-ton train engine, caboose, pullman carriage and train snownplow in their train shed. It's a bit dark in there but absolutely worth a visit. You can walk through the caboose and the pullman. The airplane display also includes an ambulance and a snow vehicle. The helicopter is retired from service in Vietnam. You can walk through the C-47. Gliders, bi-plane, jet. It's a really good collection. Then you have the antique car cillection, agricultural machine collection, Telephone museum, and on and on. So much history in one place. There are picnic tables on site under full sun. Do be sure to bring water and wear sunscreen and a hat in summer as you will be walking between buildings. Public restrooms are in the main building and the church basement. The gift shop sells soda and water aside from toys and gifts, etc. Private parking lot. They have a variety of discounted entries so check out their website for information and add this to your list of places to visit.

    What an amazing place!! The staff is so nice and they offer so much about things to do in Fargo…read more There are super themed items from the movie Fargo that's so cool, many photo opts. They even have a celebrity walk of fame along the grounds. I totally recommend stopping by this visitors center. Best of all, if it's your last state to visit in the USA, they give you a T-shirt and certificate and have a huge photo opt in the wall and a sign with a 50 to take a pic with. My mom loved it and so glad she was able to check this off her list.

    "Let's have a hand for that young cowboy And wish him…read morebetter luck next time I hope we'll see him up in Fargo Or somewhere farther down the line" (Willie Nelson) Do you remember that great 1996 movie "Fargo"? It was a seven-time Academy Award nominee and prominently featured a scene with a woodchipper to dispose of a murder victim's body. Well, the Fargo-Moorhead Visitors Center has not one, but two woodchippers on site for some interesting photo ops. The original woodchipper that appeared in the movie is outside the building and a replica is inside for some wonderful family photos. A fact sheet I saw in the Visitor's Center revealed the "recipe" used in the movie to simulate the blood in that famous (but very gory) scene. So, for the benefit of the curious Yelper community, here it is: 1 large jug of RV Anti-Freeze 2 packages of red Kool-Aid 1 box of Strawberry Jello 1 garbage bag of butcher shop leftovers OK, so now that you've stopped gagging, let me share what else you'll find at the visitor center. Outside the building is a very cool and very large Buffalo statue painted in a crazy quilt color pattern, and the Fargo Walk of Fame where "movie stars, musicians, authors, athletes, religious leaders and celebrities" carved their names and pressed their handprints into wet concrete sidewalk squares. Some of the squares I saw were from the bands Alabama, Jethro Tull, and Def Leppard. Inside the center are an eclectic mix of displays -crop seeds of North Dakota, a wood puzzle map of North Dakota counties, hundreds of tourism brochures and books, post cards, posters from the Fargo movie and TV show, T shirts, a sports display (North Dakota is crazily mad about hockey), and free coffee. My favorite T-shirt proclaimed, "A lot can happen in the middle of nowhere". The building itself is gorgeous with a pretty mural on the second floor, a very high ceiling, a four-story high peak, and ornate wood trusses tied together with iron rods. Most definitely worth your while to drop by and spend a half hour or so cruising around and thinking up fun ways to get that woodchipper into a cherished family portrait.

    Wow, have they ever updated the place. They knocked down the old building a few years ago and…read morerebuilt it about 4 years ago, now. Clean, modern, and a little strange walking in here. Children's section on the main floor, along with administrative, and a spot for you if you want to buy/donate old books (Friends of Fargo Bookstore) - cheap $1/book kind of deals, and great to get rid of old textbooks and such, too. I do miss the little reading aloves in the old library, the stairs up to a hidden teen section, and the openness of the two-story open adult section of the old library, but it is good they built it up - second floor is adult and young adult sections, and a large new computer room and print stations, as well as a "teen-only" room. Lots of glass and comfort there, not sure how energy-efficient, though. Extra classrooms and reading rooms for the kids downstairs, some Indian print art displayed, and a little candy/drinks bar up front. New, yes, but I am sad I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the old place. Many a summer spent in the reading program here competing for small prizes and adding pages to the tally for our schools! All the pictures on this post are of the new library.
