Rugby, North Dakota Pictures
Geographical Center of North America
If you're traveling through North Dakota, make a quick side trip to visit the Geographical Center of North America, located in Rugby North Dakota.
While we were visiting Esmond, ND, we hopped on our motorcycles to get some great views of North Dakota, and headed for Rugby.
We didn't spend much time here, but on this page are some pictures I took while in Rugby, and be sure to watch the quick video I made while we were here.
