Arts, Culture, and Entertainment

From frontier museums to front row seats at the local theater, Williams County is where art, culture and the western prairie collide. Visit one of several area museums and historical sites that harken back to the days of the first frontier settlers to or get your fill of western-themed paintings, Native American artifacts, and even a few dinosaur fossils.

When the sun goes down, the stage lights up with music and local events! Find local theater with Entertainment, Inc. and Williston High School, which is a nationally recognized Premiere Community for Theater Education, and check out the area's newest event venue for buzzworthy concerts and seasonal markets with all the finds - Great Northern in downtown Williston. Looking for something more low-key? Don't miss out on the dozens of community events throughout the county – including Lewis & Clark State Park's annual Flannel Fest, complete with axe throwing and pumpkins.

Come for the history, stay for the fun, and make the most of Williams County!
