North Dakota might surprise you—and that’s the point. For many, Bismarck-Mandan is a first-time destination, and it delivers far more than just another box to check. Here, you’ll find one-of-a-kind attractions and off-site venues that take events and meetings beyond the fields, courses and four walls and into unforgettable experiences.

Plenty of cities have facilities. What sets us apart? The extra. From history, culture and arts to outdoor adventure, dining and shopping, Bismarck-Mandan has it all—right on the Missouri River and surrounded by rolling hills.

As North Dakota’s capital, we combine professional infrastructure with authentic hospitality and a central location that’s easy to reach by road or air. Add in access to key industry sites, walkable downtowns and built-in pre- and post-conference adventures and you’ve got a destination that works hard—and plays even harder.

BSC Armory:
BSC ArmoryIn 1959 the state legislature granted the present 6 acre area to the ND National Guard with the idea that it would be available to share the facility with Bismarck Junior College (at the time). The Armory was built adjacent to the campus in 1962. Bismarck Junior College then began using the Armory for physical education, athletics, and hotel retaurant management and paid rent until 1988. Governor George A. Sinner transferred ownership (as the story goes for $1) of the Burleigh County Memorial National Guard Armory to Bismarck State College, officially effective July 1, 1989.

At this time the Armory is occupied by the athletic department, physical education staff and classes, and the Mystician student newspaper.
