The Assyrian Muslim Cemetery is a Muslim cemetery in Mountrail County, North Dakota, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. It is the oldest Muslim cemetery in the United States, and was the only Muslim cemetery in North Dakota for 90 years. It is located 1/4 mile south of US 2 on 87th Ave. NW, near Ross.

Mosque

The original mosque at the site was built in 1929 by immigrants from what is now Lebanon and Syria. A modest 15 by 15 feet (4.6 m × 4.6 m) replacement mosque was built in 2005, although it was built for historical purposes and is rarely used.
