A number of historic buildings have been restored. The ranch that Theodore Roosevelt established in the area in 1883 is preserved at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The surrounding badlands are a natural wildlife preserve inhabited by birds, pronghorns, bighorn sheep, coyotes and bison.
Performances of “A Teddy Roosevelt Salute to Medora,” a one-man play starring Roosevelt impersonator Joe Wiegand, are given Monday through Saturday at 3:30, from early June through early September, at the Old Town Hall Theater; phone (701) 623-4444.
The carefully preserved Old West atmosphere is best appreciated on a 30-minute buggy ride; cowboy guides point out historic buildings and regale passengers with Wild West tales. Schedules and departure points vary; phone (800) 633-6721 for more information.
