Rising from the Badlands, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, to embrace the great vision of President Theodore Roosevelt and to claim, proudly, North Dakota’s place in his story.
This remarkable project is being built right in the middle of the only national park in America named after a person. That fact alone tells you everything you need to know about Roosevelt’s significance in our nation’s history. We do not name national parks after just anybody. Teddy Roosevelt earned it, and North Dakota owns a big chunk of the reason why.
Roosevelt said it himself. North Dakota is where he came to heal. It was here, in the rugged beauty and brutal honesty of the Badlands, where the man who would become president found something deeper than comfort. He found strength, purpose, and the kind of clarity that only comes when you are stripped down to what matters. That journey helped shape the leader who would go on to change the course of American history.
