Chieftain Conference Center
Iconic venue, prairie hospitality
Sixty-four rooms, a wood-paneled lounge, and a conference hall that has hosted every wedding, harvest banquet, and 4-H meeting in Foster County for the better part of a lifetime. Pull off the highway. Stay a while.
Since 1964.

Built in 1964 at the crossroads of Highway 200 and Highway 281, the Chieftain has been welcoming travelers, ranchers, and prairie wanderers for sixty-plus years. Three generations of innkeepers. One stubborn neon sign.
Our name comes from the J.A. Kirkpatrick painting of a Native American chieftain that hangs in our lobby — the iconic image guests have walked past for sixty-plus years, and the namesake of the property and conference center.
A wood-paneled welcome.
Big Chief Café serves classic American breakfast and North Dakota homemade favorites in a relaxed, family-friendly room from 7 AM to 2 PM, Tuesday through Sunda…
