We went to Medora in early May. We had a trip to visit places in North Dakota. We heard a lot about Medora. However, when we came there, the place was kind of sad. I guess it was not a season for all the fun activities. We stop there on our way to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. In the summer, they supposed to have performances under the open sky and stuff like this. Well, when we came there, the whole town was kind of empty and creepy. We had really hard time to find any food place. In early May, Medora is a very small town with couple of gift shops. Nothing else. The bottom line, do not go there before Memorial Day.
This historic ND town may be small but it is big on fun! It has everything a family could want. Kids can use their imaginations playing in the Medora Children's Park which is a replica of life in the old west...complete with store fronts and a stage coach. The whole family can stroll down the Main Street of Medora, complete with hitching posts, to grab a little ice cream or maybe dinner at the Pitchfork Fondue...which is exactly what is sounds like! It offers the Medora Musical, the ND Cowboy Hall of Fame, and breath taking scenery. What kid doesn't want to experience life in the Wild West?! This is a family trip worth taking and the prices in ND actually make it possible! Teddy Roosevelt loved it here and so will you!
