Sagamore Hill National Historic Site reviews
17So much history to think about when you visit this home of Teddy Roosevelt and think about the speech's that he gave from that beautiful wrap around porch.
It's a beautiful Park and home. I learned so much about Teddy Roosevelt and have a whole new respect for him.
I had an amazing experience at sagamore Hill. The history tells is very interesting and scandalous. Thank you Brynn for the wonderful tour. A must see attraction.
The museum is small, free, and packed with information. Relaxing and informative paths. House is virtually impossible to get into. Too bad.
This national historical place is free to visit and stroll the grounds. It's best to walk the paths and read the signs, though tours may be taken as well for a fee and reservations.
The location itself is beautiful. There is a small hiking trail and when the visitor building is open the kids have the opportunity to earn Junior Ranger badges from the parks department as this is a national park - they also have the stamp for your park passport if you have one and are traveling to different national parks to see how many you can get. You need tickets to explore the main house and you do have to pay for them so please make sure you have tickets BEFORE you go. Visitors building is free as well as everything else including parking. The hiking trail leads to a small beach which was beautiful. Beware the trail is slightly uphill on the way back!
They should make this park more dog friendly like opening a small section for them to run around in the grass so the Karen’s don’t snap at them. Theodore Roosevelt loved his animals and created this place for them as well and so I think this park should allow more freedom for them.
Wonderful tour today by Park Ranger Erin W. She was knowledgeable, thorough & very interesting. She also took time afterwards for a further discussion. I highly recommend this tour - and Erin if you are fortunate enough to have her as your guide. A great way to spend Father’s Day!
Absolutely beautiful place to visit and the people that work there are SOOOO NICE!
Definitely going back.
This place has beautiful grounds. Honestly, I've never walked all around it. I have just performed here for various functions. I always see everybody leaving with a smile. The grounds are maintained beautifully. The park ranger is on.l site are always friendly and helpful.
We enjoyed our visit. Sorry we were unable to get into the guided tour. Loved the museum and was sorry the shop wasn't open while we were there.
The ranger that put on the tour was very polite and had extensive knowledge of Teddy Roosevelts life and home
Great place to go for a walk. Can’t go into the house without tickets but the grounds are free!
Take tour of the house but visit the museum first if it's open.great place for a short hike or a picnic too.we took an UBER there but there is no cell reception so we had to walk to Oyster Bay (about 2.5) miles to get a ride.
Fascinating display of his home and interests (books and big game hunting), with knowledgeable, dedicated staff giving visitors lots of insights. One example was about the life of Edith, Teddy's second wife (and childhood friend) - she was frugal due to her family's situation and bought the beautiful dining room rug at an estate sale to save money. Definitely worth a visit.
We loved this place and took my wife and stepdaughter here for the first time. Can't wait to go back inside the house.
This is the former residence of former US President Roosevelt on Long Island, New York. It has now become a National Historic Register and is open to the public free of charge. When President Roosevelt lived here, a variety of trees, flowers, plants and food were planted in the park, so it was also a farm before.
