One Big Little Vacation

Nestled into the rugged terrain of western North Dakota, along the banks of the Little Missouri River, sits Medora: a small town with an enormous story to tell.


It’s where, in 1882, a French nobleman called the Marquis de Morès dreamed of a cattle empire in the era of the open range. It’s where, two years later, a young Theodore Roosevelt found strength and solace after the death of his wife and his mother.


Whether you’re a history buff, an outdoor enthusiast, or a family looking for fun, adventure awaits you in Medora, North Dakota.
