North Dakota Mosque

Set in the remote prairie of North Dakota, surrounded by wheat fields, cattle pastures, and oil rigs, are the remains of the oldest still-existing Musjid constructed in the United States.

In 1929, immigrants from what is now Syria and Lebanon erected the original Musjid on the periphery of Ross, a town of 100 people about 60 miles south of the Canadian border.
