Enjoy the player piano or quiet country pursuits, like hiking, biking, touring, peaceful relaxation, quietude. It's like re-visiting Grandma's house.
For history buffs there is the Loess Hills Historical Museum, the Moorhead Cultural Center, the Keel Boat at Lewis and Clark State Park and the excavation of the Bertrand, an 1860's steamer at DeSoto Wildlife Refuge near Missouri Valley.
