Theodore Roosevelt National Park

We were a part of that project when it was a twinkle in somebody's eye and we were just kind of helping to formulate ideas about it because we just again, we were a firm that was founded in the Dakotas.

And that this was, you know, this Theodore Roosevelt sort of culture and the Badlands and the National Park were just so much a part of who we were that, you know, as we started to hear this idea starting to be floated, we thought we want to be a part of that.

This was well before we were ever selected to be the architect of record.

But I think it's about, you know, having an authentic passion for things and and knowing what things are going to matter, what things really matter, and wanting to be a part of that.

And from there, we drove to the cool western side of Montana and went to Glacier National Park for a week of exploring.

And then on the drive home, we went north to Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

where I had what my children described as a fever dream, going through my favorite president's new presidential library, and then 10 minutes later watching herds of buffaloes go through the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

It was something.

However...

He said, it's the most beautiful stuff you'll ever see.

So we went to that Theodore Roosevelt National Park and that is unbelievable.

What has happened over there? I guess the glacier stopped is the best I could hear, and all that water melt just carved through this mountain.

I mean, you can see the soils coming down, the different subsoils.

Just hope you make it.

It was wild.

And all that stuff out there, because the biggest part of the Badlands is Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

That was really cool.

The project has won Architectural Design of the Year from the Architecture Master Prize.

Designed by New York-based Snerheda, the library blends into the North Dakota Badlands, overlooking Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the Little Missouri River Valley.

The award recognizes excellence in architectural design.

That's the news to 736.

This area was already heavily reliant on TR-inspired tourism.

The Medora musical, a song and dance extravaganza on the history of the region, has long been a summer mainstay on a stage just a few miles from the entrance to Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Medora itself wouldn't exist without Teddy Roosevelt.

New York-based actor Trent Tabor, great mustache and all, has played the part of Teddy Roosevelt for three years.

And plus, you know, Michigan doesn't have the beautiful national parks like the Dakotas have, which we've included in our trip out here.

So we've seen some beautiful national parks, Teddy Roosevelt National Park and the Badlands and And such like that.

So it's a different country altogether.

Michigan's beautiful.

Sure they are.

The Roosevelt, you know, Theodore Roosevelt National Park is still beautiful.

We've done that in a way that worked for North Dakota.

I view data centers the same way.

So a lot of people are actually out back on the lakes or fishing or whatever.

We had a wonderful time visiting Teddy Roosevelt National Park and just about able to stream, thanks to YouTube TV and modern technology, watch the Tottenham match from a national park.

I couldn't find any other Tottenham fans in the park, but there you go.

You know, speaking of Tottenham fans who are not in the park, Ian,

National Grassland is up there.

And speaking of that, the Theodore Roosevelt today has a construction project in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Yeah.

And it's pretty expensive.
