Registration is not required for these free, family-friendly programs, and children must be accompanied by an adult.

Stop by De Morès Memorial Park in downtown Medora for Friday pop-up programs on Victorian musical instruments, clothing, food, and games.
Little Missouri Bottomlands Walk
Saturdays, 9 a.m.
Departing from the Chateau de Morès Interpretive Center, take a dog-friendly walk through the property’s bottomlands, following the stagecoach route and passing the carriage house and stable. Watch for local wildlife. This is not a full hike, but it will take more stamina than a leisurely stroll.
These programs are part of the ND250 commemoration celebrating our country’s 250th birthday.
