On July 2, 2026, US President Donald Trump traveled to Medora, North Dakota, to dedicate a $450 million library and museum honoring Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States. The site commemorates Roosevelt’s time in the region during the 1880s when he was a cowboy and big-game hunter. The event featured a colorful spectacle including a ride on a red, white, and blue train and a hologram presentation of Roosevelt. The celebration was marked by the sound of “YMCA” by the Village People echoing through the North Dakota badlands, a remote area known for its wildlife such as bison, wild horses, and bighorn sheep.
The dedication underscores Roosevelt’s historical connection to the area and aims to celebrate his legacy in American history.
