Thank you, Marc Mellmer and the @JEDunn team, trade partners and subcontractors who built the Library on a Badlands butte. In @gfherald Prairie Business, Marc shares lessons from the jobsite. #DareGreatly grandforksherald.com/prairie…

Gratitude to @bistrib for such a thoughtful story explaining my decision to step back as ceo @TRPresLibrary and take on the next adventure @TheWNETGroup + @ThirteenWNET bismarcktribune.com/news/sta…

Thank you to @Microsoft + @satyanadella + @BradSmi for the incredible partnership w/ @TRPresLibrary — our nation’s treasure, @DorisKGoodwin was finally about to “talk with TR”!

Infrastructure doesn't just move people and goods—it moves a nation forward. George Washington recognized this in 1785 when he gazed out on the Potomac and saw much more than a river. He saw a means to connect a nation. He knew engineering was only half of the challenge. The rest was bringing people together and forging an agreement that would serve the local community. More than two centuries later, as we build the digital infrastructure of our own era, this lesson still holds. aka.ms/America250 #A250 @Microsoft #America250

Still recovering from ‘spectacular’ … @TRPresLibrary

Come talk with TR @TRPresLibrary — now open in @MedoraND !

7 years of TR questions for you, @edokeefe - and now you’re the ceo of @TheWNETGroup + @ThirteenWNET too - where do you find the time?! 😉

Grateful for 7 incredible years as the Founding CEO @TRPresLibrary - a new adventure begins @TheWNETGroup on 9/21 Honored, thankful, humbled, and always excited for what’s next … nytimes.com/2026/07/23/busin…

Thank you to Michael Kimmelman, architecture critic for @nytimes, who made the trip out to the North Dakota Badlands to see how the Library settles into the landscape that shaped a young Theodore Roosevelt. He came away calling it spectacular, and he saw exactly what Snøhetta set out to do: a building of mass timber and rammed earth that tucks into a grassy butte until it nearly vanishes among the hills and hoodoos. He clocked the details that matter most out here — prairie grasses grown from local seed through the Native Plant Project, rammed-earth walls striated like the geology just outside the window, a walkable roof and boardwalk built for slowing down and taking in the view. Best of all, he stayed a while. He spotted a pronghorn in the wildflowers, found animal tracks up on the roof, and settled into a rocking chair on the veranda as the Badlands rolled toward the horizon. His verdict on that moment: "It was bliss." That's the invitation. Come see it for yourself. 📍 Medora, North Dakota 🔗 ow.ly/ShYk50Zoy3I #DareGreatly #TR250 #America250

Ten days ago, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library officially opened. Since then, it has been an incredible honor to welcome people from near and far, embracing the spirit Theodore Roosevelt championed: that life is a great adventure. And this adventure is only beginning. #DareGreatly

Live from the Badlands — Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Grand Opening | July 4, 2026 nitter.siddz.com/i/broadcasts/1pJkOOvNE…

Good Morning America featured our avatar! They captured Theodore Roosevelt IV and Ted Roosevelt V @RooseveltTed talking to the AI avatar of their great-great-grandfather.  Thank you @eschulze from @GMA and @ABC for capturing this special moment.

To coincide with the #A250, Microsoft unveiled an AI experience that lets visitors have a conversation with U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt at the new @TRPresLibrary. And who better to put our avatar to the test than American historian @DorisKGoodwin? The result was a conversation across time. Powered by @Microsoft technology and built on Roosevelt’s writings, speeches, letters, and historical records, this experience shows how technology can make archives more accessible, scholarship more dynamic, and history more engaging for a new generation.

The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is rooted in three core pillars: leadership, citizenship, and conservation. As Chair of the Board of Trustees Hilary Hamm shares, these aren't simply values to celebrate—they're questions that ask something of each of us.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, showed out, and made the grand opening one for the history books. The doors are open here in the North Dakota Badlands — and for everyone who's been waiting to make the trip, this is your moment. Plan your adventure: trlibrary.com/visit/

"This library has never been about any one person. Don't be fooled by the name out front." Theodore Roosevelt V in remarks at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Grand Opening Ceremony

The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library is officially open! Now, people from all over the world can come to this exact place, stand where T.R. stood, and feel – not just understand, but feel – how it changed him. That’s what this library makes possible. And North Dakota is genuinely proud to offer it to the world. piped.video/live/ZDixWF-jRjs
