“…fond as I am of the White House…there isn’t any place in the world like home - like Sagamore Hill,where things are our own...and where it is real country.” Theodore Roosevelt to his daughter Ethel, June 11, 1906
Sagamore Hill National Historic site preserves the home and story of Theodore Roosevelt and his family on Long Island from 1885 until his death in 1919. The park offers historic house tours, exhibits on the life of Theodore Roosevelt and his family members. The park also preserves nearly 80 acres of the original farm and woodland including a nature trail and beach on Cold Spring Harbor.
It is the mission of the National Park Service to preserve the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site and to protect the Theodore Roosevelt home, and other associated resources where the Roosevelt family lived; and to interpret the life and significant accomplishments of the 26th President of the United States.
