When my kids were younger, we took them there often while visiting my mom.
My daughter shares a b day with TR.
She named my grandson Theodore.
One Dec 26, while visiting my mother, we took them to Sagamore Hill. It was 55 and sunny. We had left - temps at home.
We were the only ones there. They gave us a guided tour, took us all over the house even the restricted places and let my kids sit in TR's chair in the library. And very carefully touch things.
They told stories about the Roosevelt kids and what they did
I don't think they realized what a gift they gave my kids that day. They let them really experienced history in a way that was very relatable to them.
It was such a wonderful experience.
I am so sorry it has come to this.
