THE THEODORE ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY FOUNDATION
"Believe you can, and you're halfway there."
- Theodore Roosevelt Since 2014, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation (TRPLF) has been planning and building a new, ambitious kind of presidential library and museum. Other presidential libraries tell the story of a single individual, but the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (TRPL)
- being built more than a century after T.R.'s death
- will do more than preserve history.
The TRPL will be a people's library, bringing Roosevelt's values and relentless spirit to life at a critical time in our nation and world, while simultaneously championing the stories of all who "dare greatly, think boldly, care deeply, and live passionately." The library is currently being constructed in Medora, North Dakota, with a milestone planned for July 4, 2026
- America's 250th anniversary. Participants at the TRPL will learn from
- not just about
- Roosevelt's story, being transformed into the same stunning Badlands that served as the fulcrum in T.R.'s incredible life story. Guided by the pillar principles of leadership, citizenship, and conservation, the Foundation has partnered with innovative partners
- like the award-winning architecture firm, Snøhetta, and the best-in-class story crafters, the Future of Storytelling
- to build an institution like no other.
With plans to be the most sustainable presidential library and campus ever, a revolutionary approach to interpretive design, and programming that will spread the library's message into neighboring Theodore Roosevelt National Park and beyond across the globe, the opportunity to join a talented team in building and opening this institution is truly unique.
