Library Lobby; $75 per person
Sagamore Hill was the home of Theodore Roosevelt and his family from 1885 until Edith Roosevelt's death in 1948. During Roosevelt's time in office, his "Summer White House" was the focus of international attention. It is now a national historic site and museum.
Library members are invited to visit this beautiful and historic place in the company of Harriet Shapiro, curator of The President's Wife and the Librarian, currently in the Peluso Family Exhibition Gallery. The private guided tour will cover twenty-three rooms of the house and the Roosevelt Museum and Old Orchard, which tells the story of the Roosevelt family through exhibits and films and recreates Sagamore life of a century ago. The tour will last approximately two hours and will be followed by lunch at historic Milleridge Inn.
Meeting in the Library lobby at 9:00 a.m. Returning to the Library at approximately 4:00 p.m. The fee covers transportation, entrance to Sagamore Hill, and the prix
fixe lunch. Space is very limited for this special excursion.
