From the porch of the Chateau I took this picture of our trailer in the campground. The ridge is just across the Little Missouri River and our trailer (if you zoom in) is right in the tree line.

Chateau de Mores
Our tour this morning was this site that memorializes the life and activities in North Dakota of
Antoine de Vallombrosa, the Marquis de Mores, who arrived in 1883 from France.
Among his enterprises were a beef packing plant, a stagecoach line, a
freighting company, refrigerated railway cars, cattle and sheep
raising, land ownership, and a new town which he called Medora, in
honor of his wife.
Chateau de Mores - This 26-room, two-story frame
building was built in 1883 as the summer residence of the Marquis's
family. The Chateau is now a historic house museum and contains many of
the original furnishings and personal effects of the de Mores family.
