VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – “Sue and I went to Medora with my brother and sister-in-law last week. Theodore Roosevelt National Park is truly one of our North Dakota “jewels”. We enjoyed the friendly people, park, the musical, Teddy Roosevelt Show”, “Legendary, A Campfire Tale” and numerous other things. Medora is one of many ND places to visit with family and friends.
