Our Company
There is no organization quite like the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation (TRMF). We are a premiere tourism operation—and we’re a 501c(3) non-profit. We welcome hundreds of thousands of guests to an exciting, diverse lineup of entertainment, historical, and educational attractions—and we work tirelessly to connect people to Medora for positive life-changing experiences.
TRMF was established in 1986—but our story begins before that. In 1962, nationally renowned businessman Harold Schafer took an interest in a historic old town named Medora. He loved its history, its striking location, and its potential to inspire others. So he began revitalizing the old town: he restored a historic hotel, brought the Medora Musical to town, and so much more.
It was 1986 when the Schafer family, with Harold ready to retire from business, donated all they had created in Medora to establish the non-profit Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation.
In the years since, we have grown from a staff of a handful of folks to more than 90 full-time employees, with hundreds more seasonal workers and over 650 volunteers. We have awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of scholarships to our staff. The Medora Musical has earned the attention of The New York Times. And we have earned a reputation as the #1 tourism and hospitality provider in North Dakota.
We are a team of people who draw inspiration from Medora. We deeply respect this place, and the people we meet here. We deliver excellence in hospitality. We work with creativity and integrity. We are a family that values family.
We are the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation.
