About Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library

The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is at 3410 Chateau Rd in Medora, 1.5 miles from the South Unit entrance of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Its permanent exhibition follows Roosevelt's life in eight chapters, with narrative galleries and interactive adventure galleries, and a roof terrace looks out over the prairie. A one-mile boardwalk loops around the building through restored native grassland and connects to the Maah Daah Hey Trail. Timed tickets are $26 for adults and $16 for youth 3 to 12, and hours change by season.
