About Whistle Stop Tours
Once a popular style of political campaigning, Theodore Roosevelt began the practice of holding high-energy trackside rallies as he traversed the country. Now in 2025, Teddy is back with the sound of the train whistle to share stories of his travels in Medora. The Bismarck Depot will be transformed into a western railroad stop, authentic to the time period!
