Supporters of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota are welcoming federal legislation that would help cover the construction costs of the library and to showcase artifacts of the 26th president. Roosevelt hunted and ranched in the Badlands of what is now North Dakota as a young man in the 1880s, before he was president.
FILE - Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library CEO Ed O’Keefe stands near a bronze statue of the 26th president, Aug. 23, 2023, in Mandan, N.D. Supporters of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library are cheering new federal legislation to help build the library and to showcase artifacts of the 26th president, who as a young man hunted and ranched in the state during its territorial days.
In a statement, the congressional delegation hailed the bill as “a wise investment in our nation’s historical preservation.” In the same press release, the bill drew praise from descendant Theodore “Ted” Roosevelt V and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who championed the library to the 2019 Legislature.
The 2023 Legislature approved a $70 million line of credit for the library through the state-owned Bank of North Dakota, which Briney said library planners have not tapped.
