Where You’ll Work

Lisbon, ND has a population of approximately 2,200 residents. Nestled in the Sheyenne National Grasslands, Lisbon is a gateway to Fort Ransom State Park and the southern terminus for the River Valley National Scenic Byway. The Sheyenne River flows freely through town, highlighting the area's excellent outdoor recreation offerings and framing the quaint downtown, which features a refurbished opera house and unique shopping and dining. The Lisbon Opera House is a tribute to the community's can-do spirit. This 1890s structure on Main Street is open for tours and community events. Two doors down, the Scenic Theater has shown movies continuously since 1911 and proclaims itself the oldest continuously running theater in America. Outside downtown, racing enthusiasts can watch drivers go round and round the quarter-mile Sheyenne River Speedway or get in nine (or more) holes of golf at Lisbon Bissell Golf Course. Farther out, adventure seekers will find the Sheyenne State Forest, Fort Ransom State Park, and the byway. Kayakers can paddle the gentle Sheyenne River at the park, and a drive along the byway features wooded hillsides unique to this part of North Dakota.
