A Quick Look At Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Theodore Roosevelt National Park is the only US national park named for a specific person, in this case the late president Theodore Roosevelt. Prior to Theodore Roosevelt National Park being organized, this was simply another part of the Badlands of North Dakota. Theodore Roosevelt came here determined to hunt bison, and ended up falling in love with the land and way of life here. Later, when Theodore Roosevelt experienced a double tragedy by losing his wife and mother, he returned in order to heal emotionally. Theodore Roosevelt wrote about his experiences here, calling the lifestyle, "perfect freedom". Theodore Roosevelt's words inspired many to come here. Because of Theodore Roosevelts role in building interest in the area, his name was chosen for the National Park when the time came. Today Theodore Roosevelt National Park is like a window into the world before. I hope you will enjoy this visit with us to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota.
