It's a small-ish local museum so it won't take much time. You'll find artifacts dedicated to both cowboys and Native Americans which is great. I've learned a lot after my visit and it was worth the time and money. Lots of beautiful items being exhibited and you probably won't see such a big collection of artsy saddles anywhere! I'd recommend stopping here while you're visiting Theodore Roosevelt National park and the town of Medora.

This self-guided museum was the perfect place to stop before our journey into the actual park, and I really think it should be on your itinerary when in the area if it isn't already. It won't take a ton of time, maybe an hour or so to complete the three levels, but it's really worth it! The museum has a minimal fee for adults, free entrance for kiddos 7 and under, and free entrance for those 18 and under on Wednesdays and Sundays. Don't miss the short, but really informative documentary about the land here which was very interesting to see prior to heading out into it. The film speaks about Theodore Roosevelt's connection to the area and the battles which have taken place here. They even have saddle seats in the theater the kiddos loved! The kiddos ages 6 & 8 also loved riding the horses and dressing up like cowgirls! I loved tying them up in a lasso for a bit! Don't miss this section of you have wee ones with you! I really liked that this museum combines both Native American history and well as that of the cowboys. I loved the contrast of old and modern found in the exhibits here. There's amazing artifacts from the Native Americans such as moccasins, instruments, intricate beaded clothing, bear claw accessories, moccasins, arrowheads and more. There's also amazing detailed saddles, bad-a** guns, awards and metals from new rodeo stars, hats, belt buckles and more. We highly recommend a visit here for full understating and appreciation of the park. A few cool photo op items across the way like a giant buffalo skull the kids love playing in!

It was surreal to ride out and soak up every moment of this vast land! Abby is welcoming, patient and a professional equestrian who values safety first. We appreciated all the photographs she took of us on the trail and she gave us insight about the local culture and history. We could not have asked for a better trail guide/wrangler. Also as a "horse person" I deeply appreciated how healthy and happy these horses are. They are well cared for that is for sure. We learned that many horses stay here for years, are not over worked and retire with dignity. I highly recommend the two hour ride, it was a deeply meaningful experience!

Piper was the wrangler who took my group out on a two hour ride. It was $112 for two hours, which…read moreseems pretty comparable to most riding stables I have visited. Piper was very personable and kept up steady conversation. The horses are well mannered, all with their own little quirks. It was nice that our wrangler knows the individual horses well enough to give us a heads up. For example, at the end of the ride there's a wide short bush that the horse I had insists on walking through. It wasn't dangerous, and it's just his preference and gives him a little joy, he scratches his belly on it. Piper knew the horses well enough she gave me a heads up so I wasn't surprised. Beautiful views.

In 1883, Roosevelt arrived in the Badlands to hunt bison. He purchased the Maltese Cross Ranch & was a working cowboy here. Roosevelt wrote 3 books about his experiences. The Maltese Cross Cabin was a temporary home for Roosevelt. He would split his time between Dakota & New York for the next several years. In 1884, he established the Elkhorn. By 1887, Roosevelt began to sell his interests in the cattle industry. By 1900 the cabin was sold. The cabin traveled from Missouri to Portland, to Fargo, ND before settling on the grounds of the state capital in Bismarck. The Daughters of the American Revolution took over the care of the cabin, and acquired many of the items you can see today. In 1959, twelve years after the park was established, the Maltese Cross Cabin came to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Restored to its original state, we walked in Roosevelt's footsteps behind the South Unit Visitor Center.

We were greeted by a small female cat, who introduced us to a young male cat that was also hiding, then she headed back into the fields & he stayed with us the entire time. I'm guessing they were from the farm nearby as several other cats were policing the field (and avoided us) & these 2 were clearly well-socialized & well-fed. We stayed about 3hrs, crossed the not in use bridge to the dismay of the cat - who walked with us but complained the entire way about it. We got some drone footage from both sides and (obliviously) played with the cat (who I called King French Toast). We didn't go into the tunnel this time and we fed the skeeters well during our trek.
