Medora has served as a railroad and ranching centre in western North Dakota since the 1880s. Set beside the Little Missouri River, the town lies next to Theodore Roosevelt National Park’s South Unit, where badlands, prairie and eroded buttes define the northern Great Plains. The Marquis de Mores founded Medora in 1883, and his Château de Mores remains a state historic site above town. Roosevelt himself ranched in the Little Missouri Badlands during the 1880s, an experience reflected in the national park that bears his name. Summer also brings the Medora Musical, staged in an outdoor amphitheatre. Browse additional webcams from the Badlands of western North Dakota to extend your view of this Little Missouri country.
