The wait is almost over

On July 4, 2026—the 250th birthday of the United States—the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library will open its doors to the public for the very first time. It will be a historic day in Medora and the beginning of a new chapter for this remarkable place.

On July 4, participants will be able to explore the Library’s immersive galleries and landscapes and experience the stories of Theodore Roosevelt’s life and legacy in the Badlands that helped shape him. 

The evening will conclude with a special drone light show, “Eyes on the Stars: Theodore Roosevelt and the American West.” Additional details about the drone show will be shared in the coming weeks.

Tickets for July 4 and for visits throughout the rest of 2026 (July 5–December 31) will soon be available.

Founding Members will have the first opportunity to reserve tickets beginningMarch 23 at 10:00 a.m. MT. During the member presale, reservations are limited to 2 adults and up to 6 children per household per transaction. Founding Members receive complimentary admission for their household (up to two adults and their children) through the end of 2026, and may reserve additional tickets later or purchase tickets for guests once tickets open up to the general public.Become a Founding Member

Tickets will open to the general public on March 30.

Admission pricing:

• $26 – Adults

To ensure the best visitor experience, daily capacity will be limited. We expect July 4to sell out quickly, and there will be no walk-up tickets available that day. If you hope to be part of opening day, we encourage becoming a Founding Member and reserving tickets when member access begins on March 23.
