Being at Sagamore Hill gives a condensed version of Roosevelt's life. It is pretty amazing that Roosevelt was NYC Police Commissioner, Secretary of the Navy, Colonel of the Rough Riders, Governor of NY and then he was placed as Vice-President in Mc Kinley's administration to move him away from the seat of power and he accedes to the presidency when Mc Kinley gets assassinated. The episode about sending out the fleet around the world and asking Congress to pay for its return if it wants the fleet back is still priceless. The estate, on the North Shore of Long Island is very pleasant to walk around in.

Free grounds, house is beautiful from the outside. Must book tour in advance which was disappointing but understandable.

Pro tip: please reserve your tickets on the website before you show up. We drove all the way there not knowing this information so we were not able to get in for the tour. The park ranger cannot sell you a ticket in person. Has to be done from the website. Disappointed that we were not able to get in but the place was very nice and we wish we knew ahead of time.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
