The Story of Salem Sue

What do you get when a small North Dakota town decides to build something BIG?

In this episode of Midwest Small Town, we head to New Salem, North Dakota, to uncover the story of Salem Sue — the world’s largest Holstein cow and one of the most memorable roadside attractions in the Midwest.

Standing tall above the prairie, Salem Sue has become far more than a giant fiberglass cow. She represents the creativity, pride, humor, and determination that make small towns so special.

Join us as we explore how Salem Sue came to be, the people and community behind her, and why this larger-than-life landmark continues to draw travelers off the highway and into New Salem.
