Landscaping Crew

2026 Summer Seasonal Maintenance and Grounds

Description

There’s no organization quite like the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation (TRMF). We’re a premiere tourism operation—a 501c(3) non‑profit—welcoming hundreds of thousands of guests to a diverse lineup of entertainment, historical, and educational attractions. We work tirelessly to connect people to Medora for positive life‑changing experiences.

TRMF was established in 1986, but our story began in 1962 when nationally‑renowned businessman Harold Schafer revitalized the historic town of Medora. He restored a historic hotel, brought the Medora Musical to town, and more. In 1986 the Schafer family donated all they’d created to establish the non‑profit Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation.

In the years since, we’ve grown from a handful of staff to more than 90 full‑time employees, hundreds of seasonal workers, and over 650 volunteers. We’ve awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of scholarships to our staff. The Medora Musical has earned attention from The New York Times, and we’ve earned a reputation as the #1 tourism and hospitality provider in North Dakota.

We are a family that values family. We deeply respect this place and the people we meet here, delivering excellence in hospitality with creativity and integrity.
