Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library





26th President of the United States




The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is a museum in North Dakota focused on the life and legacy of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States. It is not one of the 16 official Presidential Libraries, but instead a non-NARA museum. Roosevelt's presidential records are primarily held at the Library of Congress. The library was constructed by a private non-profit.

The museum is at a site to the west of Medora, near Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which preserves sites associated with Roosevelt's travel and life in Dakota Territory between 1883 and 1887. A site in the Badlands of Medora was selected in 2020, as well as the design architect Snøhetta and the architect of record JLG Architects.
