Enchanted Highway
- (701)-440-6760
- 3689 100 1/2 Ave • Dickinson, ND 58601
- Visit Website

Located 140 miles from Sidney, this 32-mile open-air art gallery in the rural countryside west of Regent, the Enchanted Highway delights travelers with some of the world’s largest scrap metal sculptures. Created by local artist Gary Greff, a retired schoolteacher, this roadside spectacle transforms ordinary prairie highway 21 into a whimsical journey through giant geese, deer, grasshoppers, pheasants, and even a full “Tin Family.” Each sculpture site includes spacious pull-offs, interpretive kiosks, and picnic areas for visitors to explore and enjoy.
The journey begins at I‑94 Exit 72 near Gladstone with the “Geese in Flight” monument—the largest metal sculpture in the world—soaring over 100 feet into the sky. From there, the route leads past six more colossal works: “Deer Crossing,” “Grasshoppers in the Field,” “Fisherman’s Dream,” “Pheasants on the Prairie,” “Teddy Roosevelt Rides Again,” and the iconic “World’s Largest Tin Family,” culminating at the Enchanted Castle gift shop and motel in Regent.
This unique art tour is a testament to rural creativity and community spirit. Greff constructed the sculptures using recycled oil tanks and well pipe metal, placing them on land donated by local farmers. The State of North Dakota now helps maintain the route to ensure it remains a lasting tribute to small-town vision and artistry.
Plan your visit
- Start at I‑94 Exit 72 and follow the numbered sculptures along Highway 21.
- Each stop features parking, interpretive signage, and wheelchair access.
- Enjoy a picnic or stretch your legs at rest stops between installations.
- End your journey in Regent with a stay at the castle-themed motel.
Whether you’re making a quick photo stop or planning a scenic half-day adventure, the Enchanted Highway offers a delightful blend of art, humor, and big-sky charm—right off the interstate and off the beaten path.

- Visit Website
Located 29 miles from Sidney, Fort Buford played a major role in frontier military history. The site offers guided tours, a reconstructed barracks, and seasonal programming that brings 19th-century military life to life.
Fort Buford’s History
Fort Buford was the result of the timbers from the Fort Union being sold to the U.S. Army, which constructed a military fort a few miles east of the post. The fort was constructed to protect settlers from the hostile Sioux Indians. The new fort housed five companies of soldiers and a few remnants of Northwestern Fur Company which continued to trade in buffalo hides until the bison were gone.
Over the next 25 years, Fort Buford was to see its share of highlights of war for the plains. At one time or another the fort housed such noted Indian prisoners as Chief Joseph, Crow King, Ran-In-The-Face and even the Hunkpapa Sioux Medicine Man and Sitting Bull.
Today, Fort Buford in maintained as a historical site by the State of North Dakota. There is a visitors center and a museum in one of the restored building on the grounds. A visit to the for is a must for anyone who wants to feel for the military life on the frontier during the latter part of the 19th century.

About 24 miles away, this reconstructed fur trading post lets visitors step into the 1800s. Interpretive exhibits, reenactments, and a visitor center share the story of trade between Plains Tribes and Euro-American merchants.
History of Fort Union
In October 1828, construction of the post was underway and it soon became the center of the Northern Rocky Mountain Fur Trade. At its peak in the 1830’s the post, along with other American Fur Company forts in the region sent to St. Louis an annual harvest of more than 25,000 beaver skins, 30,000 deer skins, and 55,000 buffalo hides. Historians today have come to call Fort Union the largest and most imposing trade post on the Missouri River.
During the mid 1830’s the decline of the fur trade began as textiles began to replace furs on the fashion scene. By the mid 1850’s ownership of the fort had changed hands several times as the demand for furs lessened each passing year. After a short period as the rendezvous point for the Great Northern Railroad survey crews, Fort Union as a money making enterprise ceased to exist.
