TeddyCon 2026 | Medora, North Dakota From the Brazilian Amazon to Medora, we are honored to bring the story of Theodore Roosevelt and Cândido Rondon to the Theodore Roosevelt Convention 2026. More than a journey through history, this is a bridge between the past and the future — connecting the place where the expedition once passed with the Amazon Roosevelt of today. Where history still flows. Da Amazônia brasileira a Medora, temos a honra de levar a história de Theodore Roosevelt e Cândido Rondon à Theodore Roosevelt Convention 2026. Mais do que uma viagem pela história, esta é uma ponte entre passado e futuro — conectando o lugar por onde a expedição passou à Amazon Roosevelt de hoje. Onde a história ainda flui.

INSIDE LOOK: Creating the Linear Films at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library For the “Conservation” and “Contemporary Voices” films at trlibrary, we were given one of the museum’s most challenging assignments: to confront the most controversial aspects of Roosevelt’s legacy through a modern lens without reducing him to either a hero or a villain. We sought to tell his story in full, celebrating his extraordinary accomplishments while examining his failures and contradictions with equal honesty. Prominent historians and Roosevelt scholars like kenlburns, Stacey Cordery, Dan Flores, Leroy Dorsey, Michael Cullinane, Rosalyn LaPier, and Jimmy Sweet helped us examine how the same forceful convictions that drove Roosevelt’s greatest achievements also shaped his deepest contradictions: How a prolific trophy hunter became the conservation president. How his faith in racial hierarchy diminished Black Americans and Native peoples. How his ideals of masculine heroism fueled his imperialist foreign policy. And how his recognition that immigrants were essential to the American workforce coexisted uneasily with the prejudices of his era. The films do not tell visitors what to think. They inspire them to think more deeply.

On this day in 1912, Theodore Roosevelt is nominated for the presidency by the Progressive Party, a group of Republicans dissatisfied with the renomination of President William Howard Taft. Also known as the Bull Moose Party, the Progressive platform called for the direct election of U.S. senators, woman suffrage, reduction of the tariff, and many social reforms. Roosevelt, who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909, embarked on a vigorous campaign as the party’s presidential candidate. A key point of his platform was the “Square Deal”–Roosevelt’s concept of a society based on fair business competition and increased welfare for needy Americans. On October 12, 1912, minutes before a campaign speech in Milwaukee, Roosevelt was shot at close range by anarchist John Flammang Schrank. Schrank, who was immediately detained, offered as his motive that any man looking for a third term ought to be shot. Roosevelt, who suffered only a flesh wound from the attack, went on to deliver his scheduled speech, declaring, “You see, it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose!” The former “Rough Rider” later collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. He recovered quickly but in November was defeated by Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson, who benefited from the divided Republican Party. #onthisday #theodoreroosevelt #bullmoose #nomination #uspresident https://www.societyofpresidentialdescendants.org

What a memorable time I had over the course of the last several days. Growing up in Parshall with trips to Medora every summer I never dreamed I would be a part of bringing in people from 20 different states, to share not only how special Medora and the Badlands are, but to experience the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. We were reminded of how important our Trust Lands mission is and how we relate to TR's legacy of the stewardship of our beautiful lands across this great nation. The library was an absolute blast and Dennis and I can not wait to bring our family back. Check out the fun scenes created while exploring the library. I was also pretty thrilled to hang out with TR. #trlibrary #medora #trustlands

President and Mrs Theodore Roosevelt took a keen interest in the state of my marriage with Marlborough receiving regular status reports from US Ambassador Whitelaw Reid. It’s clear from correspondence found in the Theodore Roosevelt Center ( theodorerooseveltcenter ) archives that the President didn’t look kindly on the practice of marrying American heiresses off to European nobility and that he considered Marlborough a cad. When I visited the States in 1905, Clarence Mackay, husband of my bridesmaid Katherine Duer Mackay, wrote to the President to request a visit for us at Sagamore Hill. The New York Times reported that our visit to the President was the first time an automobile was permitted to bring guests onto the President’s property. Earlier, when Roosevelt ran for Governor of New York in 1898, the Socialist Labor Party attempted to use me as a cudgel against Roosevelt claiming the Duchess of Marlborough had demanded the GOP nominate Roosevelt and that Chauncey Depew, who was an executive in the Vanderbilt railroad operations, was my surrogate in the matter. Truth was, I was in my final months of pregnancy with dear Ivor — my “spare” — and trying to juggle all my duties as Duchess of Marlborough and chatelaine of Blenheim. Believe me, the last thing I was considering was who would be Governor of New York. Imagine them trying to make 21-year-old me some kind of political boogeyman!

I’ve been a long-time fan of doriskgoodwin and it was an absolute delight to meet her at the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Watching one of America’s foremost presidential scholars put Microsoft’s AI-powered Teddy Roosevelt avatar through its paces was remarkable. Built on thousands of Roosevelt’s writings, letters, speeches, and historical records, the experience uses microsoft AI and cloud technology to make decades of archival material more accessible while opening new opportunities for historical scholarship. It’s exciting to see how technology can help bring Roosevelt’s ideas, leadership, and legacy to life for a new generation. trlibrary #TRPL #AIForGood

As the project's Executive Creative Directors and Storytellers, FoST is proud to be a part of the team behind this one-of-a-kind "people's library" that is carrying TR's legacy into the modern day. Check out the link in our bio to learn more about the TRPL, and stay tuned as we share our favorite parts of the Library all this month!

Opening today on July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the United States, Snøhetta’s Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (trlibrary) is founded on principles of conservation. The Library ambitiously targets the Living Building Challenge’s full Living Certification alongside the highest levels of LEED and SITES, guided by a “Four Zeros” framework: zero energy, zero water, zero emissions, and zero waste, in addition to full ecological restoration across the 93-acre site. The material palette is rooted in place: mass timber, reclaimed regional wood, low-carbon concrete, and rammed-earth walls constructed from locally sourced soil whose natural striations echo the surrounding geology. Local fabricators partnered with national experts to deliver novel assemblies, presidential scale, and ambitious timeline. Material selections eliminate harmful Red List chemicals and are detailed for disassembly, welcoming aging and hands-on use over time. Inside the Library, carefully choreographed passageways move visitors between light and dark, echoing Roosevelt’s own journey. Large windows frame historically significant landscapes including views toward Roosevelt’s historic Elkhorn Ranch and his legacy of public lands, while skylights draw natural daylight deep into the galleries. In addition to the climate-controlled galleries, the building includes an auditorium capable of hosting presidential debates, and robust infrastructure supporting digital collections and emerging sustainable technologies. Now open to the public, experience the living library firsthand and take in the breathtaking landscape of the Badlands that brings Theodore Roosevelt’s conservation legacy to life. 📸by: Nic LeHoux / nic.lehoux #TheodoreRooseveltPresidentialLibrary #TRPL #library #architecture #landscape The Library ambitiously targets the Living Building Challenge’s full Living Certification alongside the highest levels of LEED and SITES, guided by a “Four Zeros” framework: zero energy, zero water, zero emissions, and zero waste, in addition to full ecological restoration across the 93-acre site. 📸by: Nic LeHoux The material palette is rooted in place: mass timber, reclaimed regiona

More than a century after Theodore Roosevelt served as president, his official library is finally opening today in the Badlands, North Dakota. The trlibrary “is a call to the citizens of the future,” says CEO edwardokeefe. “Theodore Roosevelt’s basic message is you need to be in the arena. It is not the critic that counts: You need to commit yourself to the cause you believe in. And it doesn’t matter whether you win or lose, whether you succeed or fail, it is the fact that you were in the arena trying to make a difference. That’s what an informed active citizen-based democracy requires. It’s really important to remind all Americans and all global citizens of that message on July 4th.” At the link in bio, emburack takes us inside the vision behind the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, and why the institution is unlike any other in this country.

Rising quietly from the North Dakota Badlands, the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (trlibrary) opens on 4 July 2026 with architecture that appears shaped by the landscape itself. Designed by Snøhetta (snohetta), the library and museum takes its cue from the prairie, its low-slung profile, grassy roof and rammed earth walls sitting lightly within the terrain. Conceived by Co-founder and Wallpaper* US400 honoree Craig Dykers (craigdykers) and the team after days spent hiking through the Badlands, the building's two-part form was inspired by a pair of pebbles collected along the way. The 96,000 sq ft library brings together exhibition spaces and public programmes beneath a landscaped canopy, built using a mass timber and steel hybrid structure designed to meet Living Building Challenge certification. Trails continue across the planted roof, opening onto panoramic views of the Badlands, while immersive exhibitions explore Roosevelt's life through treasured artefacts, from his cavalry uniform to the eyeglass case that famously stopped an assassin's bullet. See more at the link in bio and in the August issue of Wallpaper*, on newsstands now.⁠ 📷: victoriasambunaris 🖊️: anna_fixsen

The founders gave us liberty. Lincoln preserved it. Theodore Roosevelt challenged us to use it—to build, to conserve, to innovate and to live lives larger than ourselves. POTUS is doing just that. Because of his leadership, America’s greatest days are still ahead of us. 🇺🇸

The patriotic festivities continued last night at TRLibrary! Theodore Roosevelt reminds us why we are proud to be Americans, and it’s been an honor to spotlight his legacy as we celebrate Freedom250!

On March 14, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt established the first national wildlife refuge. Today, there are over 570 national wildlife refuges. Roosevelt came to be known as the “Conservation President”, his dedication to wildlife preservation has remained unmatched: • Established 150 National Forests: quadrupled the land under federal protection, ensuring vast wilderness areas for future generations. • Created 51 Bird Reserves, 5 National Parks, and 18 National Monuments: safeguarded critical habitats for species like bison, elk, and birds. • Founded the National Wildlife Refuge System: Starting with Pelican Island in 1903, Roosevelt protected endangered species from extinction. • Bison Preservation: led efforts to save the American bison from near extinction. He helped establish protected areas where the bison population could recover, including the creation of bison preserves within Yellowstone National Park. • Championed Conservation Laws: Roosevelt’s support for the Antiquities Act of 1906 allowed presidents to designate national monuments, preserving wildlife habitats. •During his presidency, Theodore Roosevelt protected approximately 230 million acres of public land. The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota will open July 4th, 2026. “The library is situated almost exactly between Theodore Roosevelt’s working ranch, the Maltese Cross, which is now in private hands, and the Elkhorn Ranch, which was his private ranch,” says Edward O’Keefe, a Roosevelt scholar and CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. “The Elkhorn is now a part of Theodore Roosevelt National Park and is referred to as the ‘cradle of conservation.’ It is thought that this is where Roosevelt’s conservation ethos awakened, where his thoughts and beliefs around conservation begin to form into what will later become his policy. trlibrary Like many Americans, Roosevelt saw the need to preserve the nation’s natural resources. May this spirit live on. 📍 Video taken in Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, New York #keeppubliclandsinpublichands #conservation #wildlife #theodoreroosevelt

A special moment. Connecting with past tedxfargo speakers at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library celebration in Medora, North Dakota. Bully.

There are beautiful sights across our great country but there is nowhere quite like the Badlands, and there is no better place to honor Theodore Roosevelt. Was proud to welcome POTUS yesterday at the opening of TRLibrary!

"Courage was the value Teddy Roosevelt most appreciated. He didn’t always have it. He learned it through the accumulation of strenuous life experiences. His two years in rolling hills and big sky of North Dakota were transformative, the 'time he most chose to remember' from an extraordinary life, one in which he learned “an ambition larger than self — to make a difference in the lives of others.” -- doriskgoodwin Her words spoken behind the bully pulpit at the grand opening of the trlibrary in the Badlands.

Over 140 years ago, a New Yorker stepped off a train in Medora. He wasn’t yet president, but his journey to greatness began in the Badlands. Today, another New Yorker leaving an undeniable mark on our country stepped off a train at that very same spot, our 45th and 47th president! It was an honor to welcome POTUS today to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library!

I'm very excited to join the trlibrary Grand Opening with stewartmclaurin and amcbridedc in Medora, ND, July 2–4. A public book talk with medora_nd takes place at the historic Old Town Hall. If you're saddling up to celebrate America's 250th in the Badlands, come join us.

This weekend, cbssundaymorning took viewers inside the trlibrary ahead of its July 4 public opening. Featuring edwardokeefe, lead architect Craig Dykers, and Theodore Roosevelt's great-great-great-grandson, Ted V, the segment celebrates Theodore Roosevelt's enduring legacy and the power of preserving history to inspire future generations.

JUST ANNOUNCED: President Donald J. Trump will join Freedom 250 on July 1, 2026, for the dedication of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (trlibrary) in Medora, North Dakota. In the rugged Badlands that forged one of America’s most consequential leaders, we’ll honor Theodore Roosevelt’s enduring legacy of courage, conservation, and service — and the pioneering spirit at the heart of the American story — as our nation celebrates 250 years of independence. 🇺🇸 Wednesday, July 1, 2026 · Medora, ND

Former President Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.” 🇺🇸 On Flag Day, I’m reminded that loving your country isn’t blind allegiance. It’s believing in the ideals that define it: liberty, justice, truth, accountability, and the courage to protect them. A flag is more than fabric. It’s a promise, one that every generation is called to uphold. Happy Flag Day. ❤️🤍💙 #FlagDay #Patriotism #Democracy #FirstAmendment #Freedom

Theodore Roosevelt was a Republican president who later broke from his own party to defend independent thought, reform, and the public’s right to challenge power. 💥 The First Amendment was never meant to protect silence or blind loyalty. It exists to protect dissent, criticism, journalism, protest, art, and the courage to speak truth, especially in uncomfortable moments. “To announce that there must be no criticism of the president is morally treasonable.” -Theodore Roosevelt #firstamendment #freespeech #democracy #speaktruth #lightfinderpr

Today, I became a Founding Member of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library opening this July. President Roosevelt has always been an inspiration to me, as a role model (fearlessness and boundless energy), as a professional (practicing antitrust law for the good guys) and as a conservationist. Over one hundred years after his presidency, his dedication to service, his determination to do the right thing, and his devotion to bring others into the arena has never been more relevant than it is today. I am grateful to continue his legacy and ensure others will get the chance to experience it for centuries to come.

The library isn’t placed on the land. It becomes the land. The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library by Snøhetta redefines what a cultural building can be-merging mass timber engineering, ecological restoration, and landscape architecture into one living system. Nestled into the rugged beauty of the North Dakota Badlands, this project isn’t just on the earth-it’s part of it. By merging mass timber engineering with large-scale ecological restoration, the design honors TR’s conservation legacy through a low-carbon, high-impact footprint. It’s a space where the boundary between the built environment and the wild prairie simply disappears.

#TeddyCon Announcement! Don’t miss the whitehouseprincess Showcase at the 2026 Theodore Roosevelt Convention! White House Princess is a new musical about Theodore Roosevelt’s rebellious daughter Alice and her beloved cousin Eleanor. One of America’s first celebrities, Alice was on every newspaper, bringing daggers to White House events, smoking on the roof of the oval office, and marrying playboy of politics, Nick Longworth. While Eleanor deals with the consequences of a secret affair with a woman (yes, it’s all based on history!), Alice’s flashy husband sides with a political rival. Both cousins have to risk their social and political position to have what Victorian women fear most: happiness. Written by harvard graduates Maureen Clare and Charlotte Daniels, the show was developed after years of research at houghtonlibrary Theodore Roosevelt Collection.

I had the privilege to visit Medora, North Dakota to participate in my first in-person board meeting of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. It was remarkable to see the site and the incredible progress the team has made as we prepare for the opening in 2026. To honor, celebrate, and further learn from one of our country's most consequential presidents, in a part of the United States that had a profound impact on his life, is going to be very important as we also celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great country. At the meeting, I am honored to say that I was appointed Chair of the Opening Committee. Congratulations to Hilary Hamm, our Board Chair, and Ed O'Keefe, CEO, for their leadership. The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is a cultural and educational center dedicated to celebrating the life, legacy, and enduring impact of the 26th president of the United States.

Designed as both a museum and a learning hub, it will invite visitors to engage with Roosevelt’s ideas on character, citizenship, and the natural world, all while overlooking the dramatic landscape that helped shape his vision for the nation.

On this day in 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt’s trip to San Francisco is captured on moving-picture film, making him the first president to have an official activity recorded in that medium. A cameraman named H.J. Miles filmed the president while riding in a parade in his honor. The resulting short move was titled The President’s Carriage and was later played on “nickelodeons” in arcades across America. The film showed Roosevelt riding in a carriage and escorted by the Ninth U.S. Cavalry Regiment, which was unusual for the time, according to the Library of Congress and contemporary newspapers, because it was an all-black company. Roosevelt was the first president to take advantage of the impact motion pictures could have on the presidency. The photogenic president encouraged filmmakers to document his official duties and post-presidential personal activities until his death in 1919. He purposely played directly to the camera with huge gestures and thundering speeches. The Library of Congress holds much of the original film footage, including that of his second inaugural ceremony in 1905, a visit to Panama in 1906 and an African safari in 1909. Roosevelt appeared on camera with many notable people of his time, including European kings and queens, as well as Hopi Indians and Masai warriors in Africa. In 1912, Roosevelt’s unsuccessful campaign for president on the Progressive ticket was also captured on film. Later that year, Roosevelt again made two presidential “firsts.” On October 11, 1910, he became the first (former) president to not only fly in an airplane but also to be filmed while flying in an airplane. Even Roosevelt’s funeral in Oyster Bay, New York, in 1919 was memorialized on camera. The filmmaker documented the procession and memorial service, and included shots of Roosevelt’s successor, William Howard Taft. #otd #theodoreroosevelt #sanfrancisco #movingpicturefilm #uspresident #photogenic 🇺🇸 https://www.societyofpresidentialdescendants.org
