Nestled along I-94 in southeastern North Dakota at Exit #307 between the towns of Valley City and Casselton is a small – very small, we’re talking ‘population under 300’ small here – town that’s literally famous for one thing: the ridiculously good, amazingly incredible fresh-baked pies at a local rest stop. Sure, it doesn’t sound like it ought to be that big of a deal, but it is – the pies are truly just that great. Come to Tower City for the best pies in North Dakota, but stay for the adorable small-town vibe that makes the whole place worthy of exploration.

Tucked away within the tiny town of Tower City is Tower Travel Center, a truck stop that looks pretty average from the outside.
