The former Moorhead Armory on 5th Street South was the site of the intended concert destination for musicians [[Buddy Holly]], [[Ritchie Valens]], and [[The Big Bopper]] before [[The Day the Music Died|their fatal plane crash]] a few miles north of [[Clear Lake, Iowa]], around 1 a.m. on February 3, 1959. The building was demolished in 1990 and is now the site of Ecumen Evergreens, a [[Retirement community|senior living]] property.

==Geography==
Moorhead is adjacent to the Red River in the [[Red River Valley]]. The land around the Fargo–Moorhead area is some of the world's flattest and richest for [[agriculture|agricultural]] uses. This is because it lies on the bed of glacial [[Lake Agassiz]], which drained between 9,900 and 11,000 years ago.<ref>[http://www.und.nodak.edu/instruct/eng/fkarner/pages/agassiz.htm] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100603200505/http://www.und.nodak.edu/instruct/eng/fkarner/pages/agassiz.htm|date=June 3, 2010}}</ref>

Moorhead's pioneer [[Prairie Home Cemetery]] on 8th Street was the inspiration for the name of [[Garrison Keillor]]'s national radio program ''[[A Prairie Home Companion]]''.<ref>Keillor, Garrison, quoted in Peter A. Scholl, ''Garrison Keillor'' (New York: Twayne, 1993).</ref> Although Keillor thought the cemetery was founded by Norwegian Lutherans, it was organized in 1875 by Oscar Elmer, a Yankee Presbyterian minister who was the first ordained Christian minister in the Moorhead area.<ref>Elmer, Oscar. Journal. Unpublished manuscript.</ref>
