Medora - cowboys, dreams and ice cream

We spent the day walking through the extremely charming little frontier town of Medora, which sits right outside the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt NP.  When we drove through it the other day to get into the park, I knew I would have to come back and do some strolling through town.  It's also home to the ND Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Here is Medora's history, named for the wife of it's unlucky founder:

Today, Medora is a haven for tourists and visitors to the TRNP.  Streets are lined up like the old frontier days and house souvenirs and gifts of every imaginable kind.  If you have lots of money, you can go to one of the local restaurants and have a steak - for $43.  No, it's not organic, Kobe or even Buffalo.  Just a simple ribeye.  We limited ourselves to ice cream, which was delicious!  We both had different kinds of berries and it was some of the best we'd ever had - outside of Rome's gelato, of course.
​
Our visit to the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame was an interesting one.  It not only honored cowboys, but also the First People, the native Americans who inhabited this land before settlers started their new lives in this foreign land.  And, I didn't know this, but Sitting Bull is a member of the Hall of Fame.
