MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where is the exact middle of North America?

We live here on the East Coast in Connecticut but I’ve always wondered if there was an exact spot that’s the direct middle of North America. Has to be right? Is there a gift shop? Maybe?

Turns out there is a town in North Dakota that’s the geographical center of the country. Ironically the name of the town is “Center”. Apparently this is a pure coincidence.

I need to visit this place someday.
