Chateau De Mores, nestled southwest of Medora, ND, pays homage to the legacy of Antoine de Vallombrosa, the Marquis de Mores. Arriving in 1883, the Marquis spearheaded various ventures including a beef packing plant, cattle and sheep ranching, and the establishment of Medora, named after his wife.
The centerpiece of the site is the Chateau de Mores, a grand 26-room mansion constructed in 1883. Today, the Chateau serves as a historic house museum, showcasing original furnishings and personal belongings of the de Mores family. Visitors can explore the house during the summer months for a nominal fee.
Additionally, the De Mores Memorial Park in downtown Medora features a striking bronze statue of the Marquis encircled by a charming flagstone courtyard. History enthusiasts can delve deeper into the region's past through engaging programs like "History Alive!" that blend theater arts with local history documents.
