The 2025-2027 North Dakota Blue Book contains a variety of government and cultural information about the Peace Garden State.
Each edition features a special chapter, and this one focuses on Theodore Roosevelt's transformative time in North Dakota. Roosevelt's ambitions to hunt bison first brought him to Western North Dakota, and the enchantment and challenge of the Badlands continued to draw him back to the landscape he loved.
The focus on Roosevelt's ties to North Dakota is especially timely with the 2026 opening of the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library located near Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The feature chapter includes details about this new tribute to Roosevelt, which not only details his life story but also invites visitors to reflect on how his views of leadership, citizenship, and conservation can be applied today.
The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library's opening coincides with the celebration of America's 250th birthday, making it fitting to also include a chapter celebrating North Dakota's role in the nation's story. It explores what was taking place in present-day North Dakota when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, as well as the journey of North Dakota becoming the nation's 39th state.
The North Dakota Blue Book weaves together North Dakota's past, present, and future, serving as a comprehensive reference for anyone interested in the Peace Garden State.
