Keelboat Park

2016 Out West, Lewis and Clark, Mandan, Native Americans, North Dakota, Road Trip, Western Expansion


After determining that we’ve met the criteria for adding North Dakota to our map and adding said sticker, we headed north on Highway 1806. Today’s journey from Fort Rice Recreation Area to Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park through Dakota farmland and the eastern edge of the badlands was a total of twenty-four miles! This is a beautiful park with some great opportunities to expand our knowledge of the history of the Mandan people and of US military operations in the Dakota territory. And it’s close to the North Dakota capitol of Bismarck. We’ll stay here three nights. After setting up camp we headed into town for some frozen yogurt and to Keelboat Park to find the replica of Lewis and Clark’s keelboat.

And the Thunderbird!

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
