Chateau de Mores Interpretive Center

Medora, ND

Split Rock Studios worked with the State Historical Society of North Dakota to create exciting exhibits telling the story of French nobleman Marquis de More, from his founding of the town of Medora to his duels and murder trials.

The centerpiece of the exhibit is a walk-in refrigerator boxcar, complete with fabricated slabs of beef. Low-tech interactives and artifacts help children and adults alike explore the technology and times that drove the Marquis’ business dreams.

The exhibits support the existing interpretation and furnishings at the Chateau house museum, completing a portrait of a fascinating and flawed frontier figure and the town he created.
