The mission of the Old Red Old Ten Scenic Byway Committee is for recreational, historical, and economic revitalization in the communities along North Dakota Highway 10 from Mandan to Dickinson by creating awareness of the Old Red Trail as an alternative to Interstate travel in western North Dakota. In early 2006, citizens from Morton and Stark Counties met to discuss the possibility of creating a state Scenic Byway that would bring travelers off of the intestate to visit the local towns and inject dollars into the local economies. The route begins at the Mandan Depot on Main Street and travels west to Dickinson, spanning two North Dakota Counties. Communities in Morton County are Mandan, New Salem, Almont/Sims, Glen Ullin, and Hebron. Communities in Stark County are Richardton, Taylor, Gladstone, and Dickinson.
The extensive Corridor Management Plan was completed and submitted to the ND Parks & Recreation Department in 2007. ND DOT Director’s Task Force then evaluated the nomination, and the ND DOT Director made the final decision on the application. In 2008, the Old Red Old Ten Scenic Byway was approved as the state’s 10th Scenic Byway.
