Beulah

Beulah is a town of 3,152 people in Western North Dakota. It lies on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad line. Beulah's elevation is 1,780 feet.

Understand

Beulah is home to a lignite coal-fired electric power generating station, operated by Basin Electric Cooperative. The plant uses coal from the Freedom Mine, owned by Coteau Properties. The German underpinnings of the community are noticeable today, as some residents still speak German.

Get in

By car

Exit 110 from I-94 north on state Highway 49, about 30 miles. Beautiful views treat motorists descending into Beulah, especially at night, as the lights of the city give off a big glow over an otherwise dark North Dakota sky.
