HOW WE FOUND THE QUAINT TOWN OF MEDORA NORTH DAKOTA | PITCHFORK STEAK FONDUE | MEDORA MUSICAL | EP86
WE DISCOVERED THE QUAINT TOWN OF MEDORA, THE SOUTHERN GATEWAY TO THE THEODORE ROOSEVELT NATIONAL PARK, quite by chance. The town revolves around the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt in his early years, and the shows, comedy acts, restaurants, shops and museums are steps away from the Medora Campground we stayed at.
The history on how the town has survived up till now is mind bending,……with a Frenchmen, a future President of the United States and a successful Industrialist involved.
A “must do” event is to show up for the Medora Pitchfork Steak Fondue Buffet, prior to you attending the Medora Musical, which starts in the early evening. This show is performed in an amphitheater, formed into the side of one of the areas hillsides.

Medora, Sleepy Little Cowboy Town in North Dakota May 2, 2018
Medora. The queen city of tourism in North Dakota! It's a bustling, busy place during tourist season, complete with a staff from around the world. Varied dialects and cultures thrive here in the summer months. Musical performers abound. A ton (literally) of ice cream is consumed. Cowboy Lyle visits with children, young and old. And more than one Theodore Roosevelt stakes his claim that he would not have been president of the United States had he not lived in the surrounding badlands. But now, early May, the streets are quiet. Cowboy Lyle spends his time photographing the feral horses and wildlife in adjacent Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The ice cream shops are closed. Mary and Doug, the proprietors of the Western Edge Book Store dust off the shelves and open the doors to enjoy the fresh spring air. Birds sing. Cowboy hats worn by the drivers of tough, rough working ranch trucks give away the true identity of the place. This is Medora, North Dakota. The real Medora.

Haunting History of : The Chateau de Mores , Medora, North Dakota, United States
The Chateau de Mores is currently operated as a museum by the State Historical Society of North Dakota,complete with guided tours.
Numerous paranormal events have been reported on tours of the home. Commonly, a female apparition is visible throughout the home. Others claim to have seen apparitions of caretakers, obviously refusing to give up their work, even after their lives were ended.
Many others have seen strange lights, and even more terrifying, have reported shadow figures throughout the estate. It is not uncommon to hear laughter, without being able to locate its source. Cold spots have been recorded throughout the Chateau de Mores, along with an unexplainable feeling of unease or distress. The Chateau de Mores often gives visitors more than they bargained for.
The Marquis was a French aristocrat and entrepreneur who came to the Dakota badlands in 1883 to establish a new kind of cattle operation . He planned to slaughter and cold pack his cattle and ship it east in refrigerated rail cars. The slaughterhouse was built in the town which the Marquis founded and named for his wife, Medora. He built many structures in the town for those he employed in his operations, including St. Mary's Catholic Church. For three years the small town bustled, but in 1886 the operation collapsed due to drought, competition from meat packers back east, and the Marquis' own lack of business experience, and the plant was abandoned. The Marquis and his family returned to Europe, but left behind a small town rife with the flavor and romanticism of the American Old West.
The chateau was occupied seasonally by the family for only three years from 1883 to 1886. During the harsh winter months they would go to France, returning again in spring. After 1886 the Marquis visited the chateau twice, in 1887 and 1889, while Medora and their children visited only once more in 1903 after the Marquis' death, at which time she spent six weeks there. During World War I, she turned her home into a hospital for wounded soldiers. She died in 1921 of a leg injury she received while working as a nurse. The wound never fully healed. Others say she died of an infectious disease she acquired while touring India with her husband. This gave her bouts of illness throughout her life which eventually resulted in her death.
From this time on the house was maintained by caretakers. They would ready the house for occupation in the spring but the family never returned. The eldest son gave the caretakers permission to operate the chateau as a boarding house in 1921. During this period the house suffered from theft and lack of maintenance.
The home and the land on which it sat was given to the state of North Dakota in 1936 on the condition that it be maintained and opened to the public. It was restored from 1937 to 1941 by the Civilian Conservation Corps and again in 1995.
