Catching my breath after a remarkable six weeks in which we finished construction and exhibit installation (at 2am on June 30 - nothing like a deadline!) and officially opened @trlibrary on July 4, 2026 — our nation’s 250th birthday! 🇺🇸 🤠

Alton and the famed “Avachillo” join me to introduce the “Eyes on the Stars” drone show

The hard hat and safety vest come off! @jedunnconstruction and @dimensional_innovations

Cue the lightening @futureofstorytelling

@elsa_ok3 + friends + cousins joined for a special Father’s Day preview - she was deeply missed at the Grand Opening but I can’t wait to see the result of all her hard work @interlochenarts

Thank you @allisonokeefe for joining me on this wild ride - you designed a competition that led to @snohetta + @jlgarchitects - you advocated for the native plants 🌱 - and every aspect of this incredible place holds a piece of your soul and hard work!

Shall we ride again @novaskystories ?

This explains a lot @chrisblackwell829 + @robbielauf3

The number one question I receive — how do I get to #medora ? — finally, a proper answer!

P.S. If Mario tunnels are not your thing, there is always @delta from @mspairport or @united via @denairport ✈️

Big thanks to @stevenrinella and the entire crew at @MeatEater for the opportunity to join the MeatEater Podcast and talk all things Theodore Roosevelt and the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library.

It was a fantastic conversation—one I truly enjoyed—and I’m grateful for the chance to share Roosevelt’s story, his conservation legacy, and what we’re building in Medora.

Hope to see you all out in Medora soon. The Badlands have a way of bringing these conversations to life.
