When we think about the future, we think about you.

Our Rough Riders and Business Members provide the ongoing support that allows us to connect people to historic Medora for positive, life-changing experiences.

Your support helps us bring history to life.

 

In 1986, Harold and Sheila Schafer and their family took a leap of faith: they donated the entire Medora Division of the Gold Seal Company to create the non-profit Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation, on the hope that other people would emerge as passionate about Medora as they were.

 

That leap of faith paid off. 35 years later, thousands of passionate people have stepped up to say that they too see what the Schafers saw in Medora: a place to be proud of, where people from all over the world could connect for positive, life-changing experiences.

 

We’re committed to that vision. So if it inspires you, we’d be honored to have you join us as an annual Rough Rider member or Business Member.
