Barnes County, North Dakota
North Dakota lies in the heart of eastern Barnes County. Valley City is the county seat and is known as the “City of Bridges”. The Sheyenne River winds through the area, carving out scenic valleys.
People come fishing here to Lake Ashtabula for walleye and northern pike. It’s also a place where agriculture and education go hand in hand.
While Valley City State University calls this county home, the landscape is a patchwork of farmland and prairie. The county’s history is on display at the Barnes County Historical Society Museum.
