Gardiner, Montana, sat at the north entrance to Yellowstone, and this scene records Theodore Roosevelt laying the cornerstone of the arch that marked that gateway in April 1903. Designed by Robert Reamer, the Roosevelt Arch carries the inscription "For the benefit and enjoyment of the people," taken from the 1872 law that created the park. Roosevelt was a committed conservationist, and his visit drew public attention to protecting the young park. The board's "On Horse" label points to the riding that was central to his outdoor style.
