Let’s be real here: North Dakota is one of the least-visited states in the country, and you know, we feel like that’s just terribly unfair. This state, though northern and somewhat remote, has plenty of places to go, things to do, natural wonders to see, and stuff to experience – as long as you know where to look. This state just happens to be home to lots of small towns that crank the charm level up to 11, and many of them feature main streets full of local shops, galleries, and eateries that are perfect for killing, say, a whole afternoon. The adorable town of Langdon, for example, might just have the most vibrant main street in Dakota; it’s walkable, friendly, and perfect for a lazy afternoon filled with window shopping and snacking.

Langdon is the county seat of Cavalier County nestled way up in the northeastern-central part of the state.

It's definitely a small town, with a population of just 1,806 people. But that doesn't mean it's a boring, sleepy place - in fact, it's quite the opposite.
Head to the downtown area and browse for a while.

Check out coffee shops and cafes, bookstores, eateries, a beautiful city park, and more.

Langdon is a great little place to get away without really getting away, that is, unless you're visiting from somewhere far away. Then we suppose it's the perfect town for a getaway weekend!
