There’s Only One Remaining Bonanza Farm In All Of North Dakota And You Need To Visit

Bonanza farms were one of the essential things that made North Dakota what it is today, and much of western United States. They came up in a blink of an eye and seemed to fade away just as fast. Unfortunately, that part of our history is mostly gone and there are no true bonanza farms left in this state - except for one. While we have places that were made into bonanza themed museums like Bonanzaville in West Fargo, ND, we only have one true farm left that is still standing from where it was all those years ago and you can still visit it today.

The Historic Bagg Bonanza Farm is just outside of the small town of Mooreton, North Dakota. It is considered one of the best preserved bonanza farms in all of America.

The farm today consists of a beautiful house, huge mule barn, and many other buildings. All of these are kept pristine and just as they would have been back in the day.

The farm was in operation from 1915 to 1935, and at the time they were running 7,000 acres of land. The home is huge and beautiful, and everything inside has been kept intact and accurate from the time the Bagg family and the farm workers still lived in it.

The barn is gorgeous and has been renovated to have everything you'd need for a dream wedding, which it hosts often these days. It still looks exactly as it did back then on the outside.

The rest of the buildings serve as a museum that you can tour yourself. The guides will take you through the history of the farm that so many other places shared back in the day and were an important part of North Dakota's history.

The Bagg Farm is technically still in operation today and they grow various plants and vegetables. In the fall, they have a pumpkin patch open to the public for lots of Halloween family fun.

It is very hard to come by a piece of living history as authentic as this is, and it's both interesting and stunning to see.

The Bagg Bonanza Farm is located at 8025 169th Ave SE, Mooreton, ND 58061. For more information, click here.
