Sheyenne River Valley Scenic Byway
Fort Ransom State Park, ND

Named after a historic frontier fort, the Fort Ransom State Park gives visitors a glimpse into life in historic North Dakota. While the historic fort was dismantled, Fort Ransom State Park features two historic homesteads, the Bjone House and the Sunne Farm. The Bjone House serves as the visitor center for the park, and Sunne Farm features living history demonstrations.

The most famous of these demonstrations is the annual Sodbuster Days, featuring horse-drawn fieldwork, antique machinery, blacksmithing, and home cooking.

The Fort Ransom State Park features 887 acres of natural beauty. Experience a wealth of outdoor activities during your visit. The park features 5 campsites, two of which include facilities for horses. Canoe across the Sheyenne, take a hike, take a picture. And because the park remains open in the winter, you can also try cross country skiing.
