General Info:

Located southwest of Medora, this site memorializes the life and activities in North Dakota of Antoine de Vallombrosa, the Marquis de Mores, who arrived in 1883. Among his enterprises were a beef packing plant, a stagecoach line, a freighting company, refrigerated railway cars, cattle and sheep raising, land ownership, and a new town, which he called Medora in honor of his wife. The site consists of three separate parts: • The Chateau de Mores and Interpretive Center • Chimney Park (west edge of Medora) • De Mores Memorial Park (downtown Medora) The interpretive center is the gateway to the grounds on which the French nobleman, the Marquis de Mores, built a home in 1883 for his wife, Medora. The permanent gallery features artifacts related to the history of the Marquis, Medora, their families, and the region. Visitors to the de Mores family’s 26-room house see elegant original furnishings ready for guests such as Theodore Roosevelt.
