Bismarck-Mandan's favorite thi

One of Bismarck-Mandan's true treasures will be given some high- quality historic polish.

Work is expected to begin this spring on a $52 million, 97,000- square-foot addition to the North Dakota Heritage Center. We're talking about room enough to contain a 40-foot-long replica of a fossilized tyrannosaurus rex fighting a 30-foot-long replica of a fossilized triceratops. Move over, Godzilla.

It's to be the "Smithsonian on the Prairie." And the work is to be completed by 2014, the 125th year of North Dakota statehood.

There's to be a First Peoples Gallery, Geological Times Gallery, Governors Gallery, and the Inspiration, Opportunities and Innovator Gallery, as well as a 3-D theater.

Already a local treasure, the expansion will take the Heritage Center to the next level. Private funds will make up about $12 million of the total cost, with the state Legislature funding the rest. Work could not start until the first $6 million in private money was raised.

The Heritage Center isn't the only local treasure.

Bismarck-Mandan is home to Fort Lincoln and the Mandan Indian villages, and a short distance away is the reconstructed Fort Mandan and the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. Together, they capture the pre-settlement and early American exploration years of this area.

In the vein of history and heritage, a newly constructed conference center has opened in Medora, in the heart of the North Dakota Badlands. Hopes are to expand the number of hotel rooms at the conference center in 2010, so that it can offer a 365-day-a- year experience. But the real treasures are the rough sand, clay and lignite hills along the Little Missouri River in the Badlands.

Back in Bismarck-Mandan, another river, the big Missouri River, has created its own remarkable culture. Its banks are lined with recreation trails and boat ramps. The public access makes the river and its sandbars and bank an outdoor theme park. Then there are its dams - Oahe and Garrison, backing up water for fishing, sailing and other water sports. And crossing its broad water is the newly constructed Memorial Bridge, a modern reconstruction completed in 2009.

The Dakota Zoo has grown into a remarkable community feature for local residents and visitors. The addition of a "big cat" space last IWC Watches year has made the zoo experience even more enjoyable.

Bismarck-Mandan also offers the McQuade's Softball Tournament - the largest nonprofit, slow-pitch softball tournament held over one weekend in the United States. The two cities fill with athletes of all ages, genders and skill levels.

This is home to the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery, Belle Mehus Auditorium, Buckstop Junction and, of course, the state capital.

Western North Dakota reflects gems all around.
