Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library
The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library was designed to celebrate the enduring legacy of one of America's greatest conservationists while embracing the rugged beauty of the North Dakota landscape. Every material was thoughtfully selected to reflect the project's commitment to sustainability, durability, and a timeless connection to nature—creating an experience that feels as authentic as the land it inhabits.
To complement this vision, Arbor Wood Co. Thermally Modified Ash Decking was selected for the library's expansive boardwalk. Offering the warmth and character of natural hardwood with enhanced dimensional stability and long-term durability, thermally modified ash provides a high-performance decking solution well suited for demanding exterior environments. The result is a beautiful, enduring surface that welcomes visitors while harmonizing with the surrounding prairie for generations to come.
