Theodore Roosevelt at Home
As a crusading urban reformer, conservationist and outdoorsman, and later as President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt met his considerable responsibilities with characteristic energy and passion. Throughout his career, however, T.R. saw himself first as a husband and father: Family and home were of the utmost importance to him. Sagamore Hill, The Roosevelt family home at Oyster Bay, Long Island, was T.R.'s primary residence from 1886 until his death in 1919. These photographs, from the collection of the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, speak to T.R.'s devotion to family and the outdoors.
Sagamore Hill National Historic Site will host a celebration of Theodore Roosevelt's 150th birthday on October 26 and 27, 2008. For more information on the festivities and on Sagamore Hill, visit http://www.nps.gov/sahi.
