Sagamore Hill National Historic Site

"The Sagamore Hill National Historic Site is a renowned historic attraction that features the home of the late Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President Of The United States. Located in Cove Neck, New York, the site was known as the “Summer White House” because Roosevelt frequently spent much his summers there while he was President. In February of 2024, I brought and treated my wife and myself for a tour of Sagamore and we very much enjoyed our experience there. During our visit, my wife and I took part in a guided tour of the Roosevelt family home at Sagamore. Our tour guide did a great job on providing a concise overview of President Theodore Roosevelt, his family and their lives at Sagamore Hill. When touring the home, we viewed and learned about a multitude of the house’s furnishings ranging from gifts given by foreign dignitaries, pieces of arts and books, and trophies awarded to Roosevelt for his big game hunts. Our favorite parts of the house were the bedrooms of the Roosevelt family, most notably the bedroom of Theodore Roosevelt, where he passed away in 1919. The home was also visited by prominent figures such as Thomas Edison, Russian state officials and even President Franklin Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor Roosevelt. When traveling Long Island, both my wife and I highly recommend that you visit this amazing historic destination."

"Always enjoy visiting Sagamore Hill. We went on the anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt's death. The tour guide Noah was very informative and had a great way about him, injecting humor at times. You do need an app now to make reservations for most tours, so you have to plan ahead."

"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."
