Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Opens in the North Dakota Badlands on America's 250th Birthday
The gathering marked the first time at least five North Dakota governors shared a stage in Medora, officials said.
- On Saturday, July 4, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library opened in Medora, North Dakota, as Governor Kelly Armstrong, Senator John Hoeven, and Lieutenant Governor Michelle Strinden led ceremonies marking the occasion.
- Theodore Roosevelt arrived in Medora in 1884, establishing the Elkhorn Ranch, often referred to as the 'cradle of conservation.' He credited his North Dakota time for his presidency.
- The 96,000-square-foot facility sits on a 93-acre campus near Theodore Roosevelt National Park and features interactive exhibits on Roosevelt's life. Attendees witnessed a ceremonial march and Native American land blessing.
- Pending federal legislation would provide up to $50 million in matching grants for the library, modeled after support for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. Hoeven sponsored the bill, which the Senate passed and is advancing in the House.
- Five North Dakota governors gathered for a rare occurrence, with Armstrong remarking that the library invites visitors worldwide to stand where Roosevelt stood and feel his transformative connection to the state.
