Something special arrived at the Library: a video message from Captain William Mathis, Commanding Officer of the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) — the aircraft carrier sailors know as "The Big Stick."

The nickname is no accident. Before he was president, Theodore Roosevelt served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and spent a lifetime championing a strong American fleet. At just 23, he'd already written The Naval War of 1812, a naval history still studied today.

More than a century later, the crew of CVN-71 carries his name across the world's oceans. To Captain Mathis and every sailor aboard: thank you — and, in the Navy's own words, Bravo Zulu. Well done.
His story began in the Badlands. Come see it: https://t.co/LDSaiFGtov

Thank you, @NPRinskeep, for making the trip out to Medora.

Last week — before the doors opened, before the public had set foot inside — @MorningEdition walked the galleries with CEO Ed O'Keefe and asked the question at the heart of this place: what did this landscape mean to Theodore Roosevelt?

The answer begins in the winter of 1884, when a grieving young Roosevelt stepped off a train into the Badlands and found something here that gave him the will to go on. Stand on that same ground today, look out at the buttes, and it's not hard to feel why.

NEW EPISODE: A Call to Adventure — Charlie Melcher, Ed O'Keefe, and the Brand New Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library

What does it take to build a presidential library from scratch — for a president who died over a century ago — in the same North Dakota Badlands that changed his life?

On the latest Good Citizen, host Ted Roosevelt V sits down with Ed O'Keefe (@edwardokeefe), CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, and Charlie Melcher (@FoSTorg), CEO of the Future of Storytelling, to tell that story.

It started with a snowy February walk on a Badlands butte — where a horse appeared like something out of central casting and Ed turned to say, "It's over. This is the site." Seven years, hundreds of nos, and countless drives across the North Dakota prairie later, it's real: 95,000 square feet on 93 acres, opening July 4, 2026, on the nation's 250th birthday.

The conversation covers the design philosophy at the heart of the Library — the hero is not Theodore Roosevelt. The hero is you. And the radical idea that a presidential library can do more than preserve a legacy. It can challenge you to build your own.

"I think one of the only people on the planet at America 125 that could have envisioned America 250 was Theodore Roosevelt."

The Library opens July 4. Tickets at https://t.co/sZz4o1Pd7d.
