Mission

SINCE 2014, THE TRPLF HAS BEEN PLANNING AND BUILDING A NEW, AMBITIOUS KIND OF PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY. OTHERS TELL THE STORY OF A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL, BUT THE THEODORE ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY (TRPL) WILL DO MORE THAN PRESERVE HISTORY. THIS WILL BE A PEOPLE'S LIBRARY, BRINGING ROOSEVELT'S VALUES AND RELENTLESS SPIRIT TO LIFE AT A CRITICAL TIME WHILE CHAMPIONING THE STORIES OF ALL WHO "DARE GREATLY, THINK BOLDLY, CARE DEEPLY, AND LIVE PASSIONATELY." THE LIBRARY IS BEING CONSTRUCTED IN MEDORA, ND, WITH A MILESTONE PLANNED FOR AMERICA'S 250TH ANNIVERSARY. PARTICIPANTS AT THE TRPL WILL LEARN FROM NOT JUST ABOUT ROOSEVELT, BEING TRANSFORMED IN THE SAME BADLANDS THAT SERVED AS THE FULCRUM IN HIS LIFE STORY.GUIDED BY PILLAR PRINCIPLES OF LEADERSHIP, CITIZENSHIP, AND CONSERVATION, THE TRPLF HAS PARTNERED WITH INNOVATIVE PARTNERS ON THE MOST SUSTAINABLE PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND CAMPUS EVER, A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO INTERPRETIVE DESIGN, AND PROGRAMMING THAT WILL SPREAD THE LIBRARY'S MESSAGE BEYOND ITS WALLS.
