Sagamore Hill
Sagamore Hill was the home of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, from 1885 until his death in 1919. In addition to being the President's home, Sagamore Hill was also an important center of political activity. Roosevelt hosted many visitors there, including world leaders and dignitaries. He also held important meetings and conferences on site, such as the landmark 1906 Steamboat Springs Conference that helped to resolve the Russo-Japanese War. Roosevelt received the Nobel Peace Prize for these efforts. Today, Sagamore Hill is open to the public for tours and events. Visitors can explore the house and grounds, learn about Theodore Roosevelt's life and legacy, and take part in special programs throughout the year.

Theodore Roosevelt Island
Theodore Roosevelt Island is an 88.5-acre island and national memorial located in the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. During the Civil War, it was used as a training camp for the United States Colored Troops. The island was given to the federal government by the Theodore Roosevelt Association in memory of President Theodore Roosevelt. In the 1930s, landscape architect Charles Downing Lay designed a plan for the island that would feature a monument to American Presidents. After several failed efforts to implement Lay's vision, landscape architect John Carl Warnecke was brought on to the project. Today, the island is home to a 17-foot statue of Roosevelt, as well as hiking trails and scenic views of the Potomac River.
