On the edge of one of the country’s most spectacular national parks, this former pioneer town is an enthralling destination.

Admire the sublime Badlands National Park and explore the region’s enthralling past while you travel around pretty Medora. Enjoy fresh air on beautiful golf courses or atop towering waterslides before settling in for an evening of musical theatre under the last rays of the setting sun.

In the small town of Medora, find a wealth of sites and attractions within easy reach of each other. At the town centre is the Billings County Courthouse Museum on Broadway. View rare artefacts and photos from early pioneer days and look around a restored courtroom and jail. Experience old-time travel methods with a stagecoach ride to Deadwood.

Stroll southwest from the courthouse to Chateau de Mores. This elegant 19th-century building was home to the Marquis de Mores and is decorated with lavish period furnishings. The guided tour reveals more about the fascinating lives and business ventures of the marquis and his wife, Medora, who lived here.

After a quiet morning, seek excitement at Family Fun Centre, a 2-minute drive west of the city centre. Test your nerves on the gravity-defying bungee jump trampolines and fly down one of the world’s largest inflatable waterslides.

Head south to the Bully Pulpit Golf Course. Named one of the top 100 public courses in America, it sets each hole against a backdrop of vast meadows and forests with the gentle trickle of the Little Missouri River as a pleasant distraction.

With an afternoon on the links behind you, the Medora Musical provides the ideal way to end the day. Held every evening in the 2,900-seat Burning Hills Amphitheatre, this show pays tribute to President Theodore Roosevelt with a mesmerizing display of traditional Western music and dancing.

Medora is the seat of Billings County in North Dakota. Stay at accommodation in town and select from restaurants that serve juicy steaks and delicious pizza in a fun, friendly atmosphere.

Not only a gateway to stunning countryside,Medora has plenty to offer, with entertainment available for all ages.

"Best hotel we’ve stayed in on any road trip in last few years- seriously! Very attractive from outside, too. (Mountain lodge kind of look.) We stayed in king suite above office. It had a seating area shut off from bedroom with glass doors- it made it quiet in king-bed half. I was leery about noise ..."
