Sagamore Hill National Historic Site

Thought the home looks impressive on the outside, wait till you see what’s on the inside! I went into the tour not knowing what to expect, and it was truly a time capsule of Theodore Roosevelt’s life. There’s a lot of antiques from all over the world; the space really highlighted just how much of a free spirit and adventurer he truly was. Our tour guide was spectacular in weaving the story of Roosevelt’s life in such an interesting way. I had no idea that an inkwell could be made from the foot of an animal, or that Roosevelt valued living life to the fullest despite being told that he wouldn’t live past childhood. It’s a touching story, and being in the house really brings you back in time to the mindset and interests that Roosevelt had. He was sort of an erratic genius? I highly recommend this tour, and supporting the space by purchasing tickets online. 10/10 experience!

Wish I came when the museum and touring was open but it closes at 4pm :/. It’s okay though because they had many signs around the property which gave a lot of interesting information about the Roosevelts. You can go on the porch of the house and relax in rocking chairs and benches. There’s also a nature trail which takes you down to the oyster bays and beach. A relaxing, beautiful, and great experience, next time I would definitely do the tour for the museum and house !

We really enjoyed it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of everyone's questions. The final 2 photos are the room in which Mr. Roosevelt passed away.

This former property of Teddy Roosevelt contains the house and grounds of the Roosevelt, a visitor center, and some great trails. The grounds are well interpreted and also have a nice self guided tour that provides a wealth of information. The trails are nice, with at least one leading through the woods to a beach area that overlooks a river and the surrounding countryside. The visitor center was great and we learned a great deal about Roosevelt and his remarkable family. They do have tickets to tour the home and they sell out quick - so check that before you get there as part of your planning.

Spectacular piece of American history where you can easily spend a couple hours. The house is magnificent and the grounds are wonderful to take a stroll and enjoy nature. I'm a history buff but I managed to learn a few things about Theodore Roosevelt that I didn't know. I really enjoyed my time here.
