THE THEODORE ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY FOUNDATION

“Believe you can, and you’re halfway there.”
-Theodore Roosevelt

Since 2014, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation (TRPLF) has worked to create a new kind of presidential library and museum. Now open in Medora, North Dakota, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (TRPL) brings Theodore Roosevelt’s ideas, values, and relentless spirit to life through immersive experiences that invite people to engage with his story—and consider how its lessons can shape their own lives and communities.

More than a place to preserve history, the TRPL is a people’s library, celebrating the stories of all who “dare greatly, think boldly, care deeply, and live passionately.”
