Roosevelt came to the badlands in 1883and before going back to N.Y. he became interested in the cattle business. He formed a partnership in the Maltese Cross Ranch. This cabin is where he stayed while here. He was the President and was a big conservationist.He established the U.S Forest Service in 1906 and got approval for 5 national parks. He said if it wasn't for time in N. Dakota and his experiences there he would have never been President.
This park is in the town of Medora.It has several shops and museums and eating places. They also have a show called Medora Musical. This shows depicts Roosevelt as he was in his days in N.dakota. We went and enjoyed the show. They had singers and dancers and cowboys on horses. While in Medora go see the Medora Musical.
