Many surveys have found that North Dakota is often the last of our 50 states to be visited. It was 32 for my first visit. This was my 3rd time time but my first to the Capital. I arrived in Bismarck late on a Saturday night with the temperature hovering just below freezing. The Capitol building was easy to find as it was tall like the Florida and Louisiana buildings.  I captured 2 quick night pictures and found a hotel close by. 
  Sunday morning I attended a Catholic mass at St. Anne's a few blocks to the east, then circled the Capitol looking for other close churches. The first stop was at McCabe Methodist https://www.mccabechurch.com/about-us/our-history which is directly in front of the south entrance of the Capitol grounds. It has a long history of being closest to the Capitol. Next was  https://bismanuu.com/ a very unique church on the north side that encompasses many type of beliefs. 
  The Capitol Building in Bismarck has it's own history. https://www.omb.nd.gov/capitol-complex/history Why is this Capitol city called Bismarck? The name has no connection to the Native tribe names of Mandan, Dakota, and Lakota have nothing to do Bismarck.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bismarck,_North_Dakota will tell you the answer.  Maybe that's why so many 50 state travelers miss the mark until their very last state.  Will we find a similar story in the other Dakota?
