About Billings County Fair

The Billings County Fair in Medora celebrates North Dakota's badlands county — Medora is one of the West's most beloved small towns, the gateway to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and the site of the Marquis de Morès's 19th-century cattle empire that both influenced and befriended the young Theodore Roosevelt who ranched here in the 1880s.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, rodeo events, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the Medora community and the surrounding badlands ranching families.

Visitor Tips

Theodore Roosevelt National Park's South Unit outside Medora preserves the badlands where Roosevelt recovered his health and developed his conservation philosophy. The Medora Musical outdoor amphitheater, the Chateau de Morès State Historic Site, and the Rough Riders Hotel define a Western heritage destination of national significance.
