Former Wesleyan Methodist Church, Almont North Dakota by Arielle Seibold-Galston Via Flickr: For more details, and to read ahead, check out my extensive blog entry on this wonderful hidden gem of a town: pictureprairieplaces.weebly.com/adventures/quaint-and-bea... I have my favorite spots in North Dakota. Obviously my home town of Garrison is one of them. And Lake Sakakwea which is by Garrison. I still have a soft spot for campy old Medora and the musical. The badlands are always stunning. I developed a deep love of the Lake Metigoshe area and the peace gardens, as I went to both when I was young and when I was a teenager with my high school. My dad's house in Bismarck is nice, and the city itself has grown so much and is so full of amazing things to do. And then there is Almont. ​Oh, Almont. I'm not sure how I discovered it, but my first visit was packed into a car with my mom and dad and possibly brother just after his graduation from high school in 2009. It was gray and rainy but I wanted to see it so we all went. If you search my flickr you can find the crappy, grainy, wonky photos I snapped out the car window on my stream somewhere. ​ Almont is about a ten minute drive from the interstate and it's some of the most beautiful ten miles you'll drive anywhere in ND. It's a land filled with buttes and hills topped with big rocks and rock formations. The area doesn't feel like anywhere else in North Dakota. And I love it. And the town of Almont is so quaint. It has so many neat old buildings, and a commitment to it's history because it has a great town website. A little primitive, but great. It has so much information and photos, as you'll see as the weeks go by. So let me introduce you to Almont :) This says that it is "Saint Mary Queen of Peace" but I believe that, as far as my research goes, it was the old Wesleyan - Methodist church in town. The history says that it was first organized in 1924. And the first wedding was in 1930, as you can see below. There are whole stories that go with the history of this church and you can read it all here, under the heading "Almont Wesleyan Methodist Church": www.almont.us/History/churchhistory.html

The Sunflower Inn, Almont, North Dakota by Arielle Seibold-Galston Via Flickr: This cute little place (just look at the painting on the shutters and sign!) has it's own Facebook and website but I'm still not sure if it's even open anymore. I sure would love to see the inside and maybe even stay a night! I have my favorite spots in North Dakota. Obviously my home town of Garrison is one of them. And Lake Sakakwea which is by Garrison.

International Harvester Building, Almont, North Dakota by Arielle Seibold-Galston Via Flickr: Another building I'm not sure of, but it has some cool signs and seems to be in decent shape. I also love al the chairs sitting out front! Can't you just see the old farmers sitting here and and talking about the weather? I have my favorite spots in North Dakota.

Little Library, Almont, North Dakota by Arielle Seibold-Galston Via Flickr: This may be be one of my favorite store fronts, isn't it charming? A community run library! With a hand written sign and everything! I'm smitten! Oh boy what I wouldn't give to see inside! Lucky Almont--they have the cutest library! By the way, in earlier years this place was a museum and a grocery store :) I have my favorite spots in North Dakota. Obviously my home town of Garrison is one of them.

Arena, Almont, North Dakota by Arielle Seibold-Galston Via Flickr: The Almont Arena was the local paper. Not sure if it's still going but the little building it's in is adorable!
