For Charlee Krieg, one of the best things about Jamestown is its sense of community.

"I grew up in a small town, so I'm naturally drawn to that family-like community. Even with Jamestown being larger than most North Dakota communities, it still has that small-town vibe."

From friendships and career opportunities to local favorites like Bufftown Bargains, Charlee has found plenty to love about calling Jamestown home.
