Stay for the peace of mind: In continuous operation since 1883, we are the longest running business in our community and have a great reputation with the people, businesses and entities that comprise the Western Edge of North Dakota. Deep in the heart of western North Dakota along a wide valley on the Heart River, halfway between the Missouri River and the Montana border is a land where the prairie flourishes in a rugged and rolling landscape of wild grasses and badlands. It is where amber waves of grain dance in the winds and free-grazing cattle lead peaceful lives on the calm silences of the range. It is here that Southwest North Dakota residents have always enjoyed the uncrowded, expansive landscapes and warm hospitality that has made this gem of a location consistently ranked as one of the safest American destinations. Hunting for big game or birds, fishing our lakes and streams, hiking, biking, boating or horseback riding – whatever you like to do outdoors, the Western Edge is where you can do it.
