The North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame, with its Center of Western Heritage & Cultures is the interpretive center for the history of the northern plains and North Dakota’s western lifestyle.

Immerse yourself in the exciting story of the plains horse culture, a way of life unique to the world. Learn about the experiences of North Dakota’s Native Americans, homesteaders, ranchers and world-class rodeo cowboys.

Opened in 2005, through the contributions and commitment of the members of the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame, our facility features a theater, galleries, interpretive areas, artifacts and memorabilia devoted to the preservation of culture and heritage.

The centerpiece of the Center of Western Heritage and Cultures is the Hall of Honorees, paying tribute to the men, women, events and livestock that made extraordinary contributions to North Dakota’s culture, lifestyle and legacy.
