Live from the Badlands — Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Grand Opening | July 4, 2026

Be there the moment it begins. On America's 250th birthday, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library opens its doors atop a mesa overlooking the Little Missouri River — and the livestream brings the whole ceremony to you.

After losing his wife and his mother on the same day in 1884, a heartbroken young Theodore Roosevelt came west to this rugged country to start again. The Badlands remade him — and shaped the conservationist and leader the nation would come to know. Generations later, the Library rises from the same landscape that changed his life.

📺 The livestream begins at 10:00 AM MT
🎀 The Grand Opening Ceremony begins precisely at 10:27 AM MT

(Medora sits in the Mountain Time zone — set your reminders accordingly.)
Tune in early for the lead-up, then watch live as the doors open on a place built to tell the full, human story of America's 26th president.
