A ‘showstopper’ wall rises in Medora, putting the Badlands’ true colors on display
The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library rising from the North Dakota Badlands isn’t just another presidential monument—it’s a bold architectural statement that literally embodies the rugged landscape TR loved. At its heart stands a 30-foot-tall, 240-foot-long rammed-earth wall that looks like it was carved straight from the Badlands themselves. Built using an ancient technique dating back 5,000 years, this isn’t just impressive craftsmanship—it’s a local Dickinson construction crew mastering an art form they’d never attempted before, creating what may be the largest rammed-earth wall in North Dakota history. Tasha Carvell with InForum has the full on the Presidential library progress and the experience that’s emerging in Medora.
