First stop for where graffiti can commonly be spotted is out behind the South Unit Visitor Center. The Maltese Cross Cabin, Theodore Roosevelt's first ranch home, is a historic structure. Most of the carvings found on this cabin date back to when it traveled around the nation and people wanted to mark this president's North Dakota home. Unfortunately some people are still leaving their mark; recent etchings have been seen on the cabin's logs. Please do your part in not defacing your cultural resources.
