Trump to visit newly built Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota’s Badlands
The library opens to the public on Saturday, with private previews this week and organizers expecting 5,000 to 10,000 visitors a day.
- On Wednesday, July 1, President Donald Trump arrives in Medora, North Dakota, to dedicate the $450 million Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, championed by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.
- The 96,000 square-foot facility honors Roosevelt, who ranched in North Dakota during the 1880s; private donors contributed about $354 million toward the project's $100 million fundraising goal.
- Preparing for 5,000 to 10,000 daily visitors, Medora officials mobilized more than 100 volunteers and launched remote parking shuttles to manage traffic in the town of 120.
- Exhibits will feature Roosevelt's Rough Riders uniform and 1884 diary alongside acknowledgments of his "horrific comments" about Native Americans, Library Executive Director Robbie Lauf said, providing comprehensive historical perspective.
- Trump plans to visit South Dakota's Mount Rushmore on Friday for Independence Day fireworks, while conservation groups criticized the administration for policies they say contradict Roosevelt's conservation principles.
