We're on the road again and exploring North Dakota. We just got back and it's such a beautiful state. Our first stop was Medora, ND where we visited Theodore Roosevelt National Park and went to the pitchfork steak fondue dinner before the Medora Musical. All of it was fantastic but this is a walk around the tiny little town with a big history. See wikipedia below. The town was basically rebuilt in the 60's after some hard times and now has refurbished historic buildings and a ton of things to do for the family including 3 ice cream shops. Also don't miss the breakfast sandwiches at the C-Store. I hope you enjoy this virtual walk through the town. -H

Wikipedia:
Medora is a city in Billings County, North Dakota, United States. The only incorporated place in Billings County, it is also the county seat. Much of the surrounding area is part of either Little Missouri National Grassland or Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The population was 112 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Dickinson Micropolitan Statistical Area.
Medora was founded in 1883 along the transcontinental rail line of the Northern Pacific Railway by French nobleman Marquis de Mores, who named the city after his wife Medora von Hoffman. Marquis de Mores wanted to ship refrigerated meat to Chicago via the railroad. He built a meat packing plant for this purpose and a house named the Chateau de Mores, which is now a museum.
In the evening of April 7, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt, who had visited and invested in ranches in the area in the 1880s, visited Medora on a presidential tour of the Western United States. Most of the Badlands' residents turned out to greet him on his whistle stop. Roosevelt later recalled that "the entire population of the Badlands down to the smallest baby had gathered to meet me… They all felt I was their man, their old friend; and even if they had been hostile to me in the old days when we were divided by the sinister bickering and jealousies and hatreds of all frontier communities, they now firmly believed they had always been my staunch friends and admirers. I shook hands with them all and…I only regretted that I could not spend three hours with them." A local hotel changed its name that same year to the Rough Riders Hotel. In 1986 the hotel was purchased and operated by the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation.
Also home to the popular Medora Musical, the city of Medora has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the state.

My family visited Medora a number of years ago and really enjoyed the town. We especially loved our visit to the Chateau and learning about the Marquis. We had spent the night before in Keystone, South Dakota, and when we left the motel the manager asked where we were headed. When we said Medora, he said, "That's a happening little town!" I'll always remember that. Thanks for sharing your walk.
Thanks for sharing your memory! We ran out of time to see the chateau but I'd love to visit it some other time. Glad you got to see it in person. -H
You also had literally perfect weather!
Very true. It turned rainy (much needed) in Fargo. -H
👣Hello Henry, a beautiful day in a beautiful historical town for a walk. Enjoyed the music some of my favorites, and all the historical information you provided. Hopefully, you all had a wonderful dinner🙂

I'm getting a little upset, Henry. You keep visiting such interesting little towns that the Epic Western Road Trip I'm planning for next year is getting longer and longer! 🤣 Medora looks so charming. 🙂 - Pam from Tucson, AZ
Hahah. So sorry Pam. So many great little nooks and crannies out here though. I hope you have a great trip !-H

Bob in San Clemente Ca.
uhhhhhh....pass...? 😄😄😄 Actually, badlands in the winter can be beautiful but definitely cold and windy! Thanks -H
Hi Henry. I was recently listening to an old Agatha Christie audiobook, and one of the characters talks about taking walks and says "I just put one foot in front of the other and wonder about things.". A simple yet perfect way of describing a walk, and a pretty good description of City Walks. Thanks for this walk. Medora is quaint and pretty and seems welcoming to tourists. I recently read River of Doubt, which tells the story of Teddy Roosevelt's exploration of the Amazon, and his work as a naturalist. The man certainly deserves a national park. Hope all is well with you.
He's a fascinating figure. I haven't read River of Doubt but I've read Edwin Morriss' s trilogy which is quite good. I'm seeing more and more articles about how good walking is for us, physically and mentally. Thanks as always for your support. -H
🤙
Many thanks. -H
Looking at video from Shelby, NC
Hi Edward, I’ve not filmed there. Best of luck finding one. -H
😊
😃😃
I worked for a mouse for full time for 11 years and freelance for another 8. I can say that this is a little too touristy for me. It does appear to be a nice little town though.
The Medora musical kind of reminds me of the Tecumseh show in Ohio.
Took me a minute to realize what you meant. Yeah, it's definitely tourist but not nearly as bad as Deadwood and some other places. I Haven't seen the Tecumseh show in Ohio but I've heard of it. Thanks for watching -H
I went on this walk today. It was over sooner than I thought. I had not noticed your social justice topics. I probably have more because of the electric bikes and scooters that pop up everywhere. This was an interesting place. Before I forget, I watcched an old Tammy Wynette movie and she got to sing at the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville. Just FYI. Sometimes I am amazed that I walked all over Europe at your lead. Thanks. Hope you enjoyed your steak.
Awesome. Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the info on the grand ole opry. 👋👍 -H
This house at 21:30 is cute.
So many are. Thanks. -H
i had a Beautiful Lincoln like that, it was vandalised and ruined in santa fe
So sorry to hear about that. Cool car though. All the best. - H.
I just recently watched a video by Catherine Gregory where she did a hike at Maroon Bells in Colorado. Have you ever been there? The video was fairly short but the views are spectacular. Please check it out. Her website is CatherineGregoryAdventures.com.
I have not even heard of that. I will definitely check that out. Thanks so much. Take care. - H
Yes, I agree...don't be so worried about being p c, you said nothing wrong, not at all..
Thanks.
