Discover Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota
Not only does a piece of land stretching over 70,000 acres preserve beautiful landscapes and wildlife, but it also honors a president who significantly contributed to the National Park System. Theodore Roosevelt first visited North Dakota in 1883 and fell in love with the rugged badlands. His experiences in the area led him to establish five national parks and assist in the foundation of the U.S. Forest Service, making him one of the world’s leading land conservationists.
