De Mores Packing Plant Ruins
De Mores Packing Plant Ruins, Historic meat processing plant ruins in Billings County, United States.
The remaining stone foundations and tall brick chimney of the De Mores Packing Plant stand on a 20-acre site near Medora, North Dakota.
Established in 1883 by French nobleman Marquis de Mores, the facility processed 150 cattle daily until its closure in 1886 due to financial difficulties.
The ruins represent the early development of industrial meat processing in North Dakota and the transformation of cattle production methods in the American West.
Visitors can access the site through Chimney Park, the largest open space within Medora's city limits, which features informational markers at foundation corners.
The plant's location was strategically chosen near railroad lines to revolutionize meat distribution by processing cattle directly from nearby ranches.
