You have probably heard of, and possibly even seen, the Hollywood Walk of Fame located in… well, Hollywood, California of course. What you probably haven’t heard of is the fact that North Dakota has its own Walk of Fame! With over 100 additions of people famous for many different things that have visited the state, it is like walking down a sidewalk full of legends. Check it out for yourself:

North Dakota's version of the Walk of Fame can be found in the city of Fargo by the visitors center, but that's not where it originally was.

The Walk of Fame was started by a local businessman who ran a print shop in Fargo. He would take a slab of concrete to visiting celebrities, have them make their mark on it, and then lay the slab in the sidewalk in front of his business. Later, it was moved to its current location and most people don't even realize it's there.
You can see over 100 signatures, handprints, and footprints while taking the walk.

The signatures range from movie stars and singers to bands, politicians...you name it.
