An interactive exhibit celebrating the entrepreneurs, industries, and organizations that have shaped North Dakota

Welcome to Built on Grit™ - an interactive and educational Hall of Fame exhibit celebrating the entrepreneurs, industries, and businesses that have shaped North Dakota.

Inside the exhibit, you'll explore stories from 17 different businesses that have inspired, grown, and left a lasting impact on our great state. Whether you're an entrepreneur, history lover, fellow North Dakotan, or just simply curious, there's something here for everyone to discover. 

Built on Grit was created by Dakota Business Lending - a not-for-profit financing partner that has been providing financing solutions to small businesses in North Dakota since 1982.

As an organization rooted in small business growth, Dakota Business Lending has had a front row seat to the grit, resilience, and long-term commitment it takes to build a business. Just like the community of Medora and the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation, Built on Grit exists to honor the stories that define North Dakota and the people who helped build it.
