History of the Maltese Cross Ranch Cabin

History of the Maltese Cross Ranch Cabin

Theodore Roosevelt’s Maltese Cross Ranch Cabin was saved and placed on the grounds of the North Dakota State Capitol in Bismarck, North Dakota. The Minishoshe Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution took custody of the cabin in 1924. Efforts were made to preserve the cabin and display it in a manner similar to how it would have looked when Roosevelt occupied the cabin. The Minishoshe Chapter believes that their stewardship of the cabin has been worthwhile and they hope to continue to add to the historical collection.
