Day 16 - Bismarck, North Dakota

The North Dakota capitol building in Bismarck is made primarily of granite, which is mined in the area. The building was a shock to us because it doesn’t look like any of the many other capitols we’ve seen in the past. They say it's similar to Sacremento, California. Bismarck is also home to Fort Abraham Lincoln, which is the fort commanded by General Custer and where he lived before leaving for the Little Bighorn. We visited his house and the fort, both rebuilt. It was a nice stop.
