BILLINGS COUNTY, N.D. — NorthDakota’s Billings County is the home ofeight National Register of HistoricSites. Five of the locations are inMedora and are easily within walkingdistance of each other.

The sites are part of a commitment bythe city of Medora and the BillingsCounty Historical Society to protect,preserve and promote heritage tourism.Sharing Medora’s Horizon is the nameof a grant awarded to the City of

Medora to tell the story about the com-munity and the county.

Awarded through the Preserve Amer-ican Grant program, Sharing Medora’sHorizon, is designed to showcase her-itage tourism in the United States.

Medora is the gateway to theTheodore Roosevelt National ParkSouth Unit, which is located in BillingsCounty. Medora is the No. 1 vacationdestination in North Dakota and her-itage tourism is central to its businessoperation.

The eight sites and the date on whichthey became listed on the National Reg-ister of Historic Places are:

� Billings County Courthouse, 4th St.and 4th Ave., Medora, Dec. 16, 1977.

� Chateau de Morés, southwest ofMedora on west bank of Little MissouriRiver, April 16, 1975.

� De Morés Packing Plant Ruins,

northwest Medora city boundary, Feb.18, 1975.

� Initial Rock, southeast of Medoraapproximately 20 miles by road, inCuster National Forest, Nov. 7, 1975.

� Myers School Timbered Lodge, ad-dress restricted, Aug. 6, 1980.

� Peaceful Valley Ranch, north ofMedora along Little Missouri River inTheodore Roosevelt National Park, July13, 1994.

� St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 4th St.and 3rd Ave. in Medora, Dec. 2, 1977.

� Von Hoffman House, Broadway and5th St. in Medora, Nov. 21, 1977.

Additionally, the de Morés Park indowntown Medora (the corner of Mainand 3rd Ave.) is a parcel in the 128 acresthat constitutes the Chateau de MorésState Historic Site. Much of the city ofMedora is designated as a Historic In-tegrity District.

Two buildings, the Roughrider Hoteland the Joe Ferris Store, were recon-structed and renovated to match thewestern theme that permeates the ar-chitecture of the community.

Another key visitor opportunity inMedora is its geography, which is amajor part of any community. Medora issituated within a breathtaking view-shed that encompasses a major north-ward flowing water artery (the LittleMissouri River), trees, short grassprairie and forbs to sustain a wide vari-ety of birds and wildlife. This naturalview-shed is rugged, pristine and unaf-fected by industrial development, astark reminder of a world that greetedTheodore Roosevelt and the Marquisde Morés when they arrived in 1883, sixyears before North Dakota was grantedstatehood.

Riders and wagons retraced thesouthern route from Buffalo to Dead-wood in 2012. The reenactment ride wassplit into two segments to give more rid-ers the chance to join the event.

For participants on the northern legof this historic stage coach route, it willbe a chance to test the trail, hear therustle of the breeze, smell the junipers,hear the creak of saddle leather and

feel the swaying of wagons while expe-riencing the badlands, the blue skiesand sounds of the prairie as those firstriders did almost 130 years ago.

The horse is the common denomina-tor for the event, pulling wagons or car-rying riders. “This ride is anopportunity for horse enthusiasts toenjoy some of the most wonderful, sce-nic country in the world aboard a horseor in a horse-drawn wagon,” says LeonaOdermann, CEO of the Medora AreaConvention and Visitors Bureau.

Riders will cross nearly 30 miles ofnational grasslands in North Dakota.

“Participants will have an opportu-nity to be as close as possible to theoriginal route used by the Medora Stageand Forwarding Co.,” Odermann says.

The ride is a collaborative effort ofthe Billings County Museum and theDays of ’76 Museum. Scattered through-out this year’s experience will be livinghistory lessons and campfire sing-a-longs.

Ray and Linda Gilbert ranch south-west of Buffalo. They had many greatexperiences last year as the lead wagonfrom Buffalo to Deadwood. Their fond-est memories, however, were the friend-ships they cemented and established.

“We had a chance to visit with thepeople who own the land,” Linda says.“The landowners opened their land,their hearts and their history … I foundit so interesting to visit with people

from all walks of life.”The trip from Buffalo, S.D., to Medora

is expected to include military person-nel, miners, authors, historians, photog-raphers, ranchers, farmers, teachers,auctioneers, engineers, medical fieldprofessionals, 4-H club members,lawyers and veterinarians.

So, grab your cowboy hat, slip on yourboots, slather on the sunscreen and sad-dle up your horse or hitch your team tothe wagon. Join the Medora to Dead-wood Wagon Train Trail Ride.
