My parents had a house on Berry Hill Road in Syosset Long Island, NY. Roosevelt and family came in from NYC to the Syosset RR station and a horse and carriage would take them the 5 miles to Sagamore Hill. His daughter vomited as they passed by the house, and she was upset and crying. The owner of the house offered to lend a clean dress and wash the soiled one, and the next time Roosevelt passed, he'd exchange the garments. This was told to my parents in the early 60s by an elderly neighbor.
I knew a lady who lived to be 105, she also grew up in Syosset. Her father owned a dairy farm and TR often rode down and bought milk from him. He was very impressed by the farmer's family and bought them a banquette for them to dine at.
There is so much beauty, artistry and craftsmanship on display for all to learn from, enjoy, and appreciate. Such a stark contrast with the sterile, bare and hollow minimalism which is now in style with the nouveaux riches. The only thing that I find abhorrent is the display of dead animal heads and elephant tusks; however, I understand that many of us have evolved to despise the killing of God's precious creatures for sport and ego. We have to look at this in the context of the times.
Having grown up just about a mile south of this place, it will always hold a special place in my heart as well. Whenever I get home to visit, I always try to swing by Sagamore Hill.
I always wanted to see the home of one of my favorite Presidents. My late husband told me he saw Sagamore Hill when he was on a "class trip" (His grade school was in Syosset, Long Island) and he liked it so much, he wanted to take me there. Our jobs got in the way, so I never saw Sagamore Hill. So I do appreciate this video.
I’m pretty amazed that a grade schooler would like something like that, remember it, and want to take you. Right on👍 I hope you can go see it yourself, but I know how life goes. Boy do I .
What an interesting and educational video! I learned a lot about Teddy Roosevelt and his family today! What a wonderful home, very family and pet friendly! Just how a good home should be! Thank you for sharing this video with us!
What a great story, house and narrator. I wish that we had him today. What a great guy, diplomat, president, and family man. He did a lot for our country.
This house moved my heart with longing. I'm so glad that President Roosevelt loved Sagamore Hill like he did. Having been poor all my life with no hope of ever having anything like this home, it warmed my heart so much to know he loved and appreciated his home.
This was outstanding. I throughly enjoyed this video. It was interesting, and it allowed a bird’s eye 👁 view of everything. I love this part of history that gives you a chance to see how the family lived , worked and even played . This presentation was superb and definitely worth visiting again. Thank you for sharing this video.
I visited Sagamore Hill when I lived on Long Island. While many large, famous house are cold & have an unused feeling, Sagamore Hill was a much loved home and that feeling comes through to this day.
We have such wonderful memories of Sagamore Hill. We took our kids there several times when visiting family We went one year the day after Christmas. We were the only visitors. The staff let my kids sit in TR's chair in the library They have no idea what a thrill that was for my kids and how they helped stimulate a love of history. My daughter shares a birthday with TR And I now have a grandson named Teddy!
I have never been to Sagamore Hill -- it's on my bucket list. Nothing you ever do for a child is wasted. Taking them to places where historical events happened is part of their education and creates family memories. When I was a kid in the 1960s it was the centennial of the Civil War. We lived in SE PA. My Mom had a map of battlefields in our playroom, and they took us on summer trips to various battlefields in VA, and also to Revolutionary war sites like Ft. Ticonderoga. As a visual learner, I loved examining displays of uniforms, old rifles, backpacks -- so many items that made the people who took part in the events come to life and seem like real human beings. This made me a lover of history, novels, poetry, how ppl lived back then, and so much more. If families can just mute their cell phones and get into such trips, there are many trips that can be made in one day to historical sites all over the country. Even in tiny Guernsey, Wyoming, you can see deep wagon ruts of pioneer wagons crossing the country. Hardly more than a few feet wide, you could try to imagine a family's gear packed into that one wagon -- household goods, food, tools....early Americans were hardy and put up with so much just to survive. I now live in FL and theme parks have a place in family enjoyment but really, go to historical sites and make family memories -- at covered bridges, Mt. Rushmore, Valley Forge...all over America.
The video paints TR's family as erudite, sophisticated, and progressive-minded, yet there are contradictions to this popular narrative that are often glossed over by historians. For example, the Sagamore Hill (or Oyster Bay) Roosevelts _detested_ the Hyde Park Roosevelts, as embodied by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor (who was TR's niece). This abiding hatred was fueled largely by the opposing political party affiliations held by the two family branches, which one might think would have been seen as a mere superficiality in a family with such deep, active roots in the American social landscape. In her memoirs, Alice Roosevelt Longworth acknowledged a sense of shame for her part in fostering this feud, but her brother, Ted Jr., remained an unapologetic enemy of his Hyde Park kinfolk. These people were smart and well-educated, but decidedly human.
It’s tragic that TR didn’t live to see FDR become president as their two great minds together with TR as one of FDR’s advisers only a phone call away could have propelled us even further if that’s possible.
I had the luck of visiting on a cold dreary rainy day in November on a weekday after arriving in town for a buddy's wedding..I arrived and I had a personal tour by the ranger..it was a wonderful experience.
One of my favorite places to visit when raising my kids on LI.. I took a yearly picture of them on the trees there.. we'd visit on the 4th of July (kids loved foldingvthe flag with Rangers) each year. We learn something new every time we were there
I've visited Sagamore Hill many times over the years. The first time was in the 1970's (it's changed a bit since then). It's a strange, and wonderful place. A few details that aren't in the video; the interior is much darker than it appears here. The rooms are partitioned off, and can only be viewed from the doorways. You can't walk through them. The house can be extremely cold, or stiflingly hot, depending on the time of year that you visit. The main floor is quite impressive, but the higher up you go, the more like an ordinary house it becomes. The upper rooms are surprisingly cramped. It's unfortunate that the property wasn't shown, as it's truly magnificent. If you visit, expect to walk...a lot (mostly uphill). And make sure that your car's transmission and brakes are in good working order, because the climb up to the house is very steep. When you reach the parking area, you'll feel like you're almost vertical. Of course, the main thing that you can't get from the video is the way the house smells. It hits you as soon as you walk through the front door. It's an exotic, spicy mixture of mildew and taxidermy animals. It's something that you'll never forget as long as you live.
My second favorite president. I would have loved hunting with him. This home is extraordinary. This is not like a palace but a home filled with activity, love and excitement. I'm so glad I finally had a chance to see it.
Visited in the early 1970s. Loved it. Didn't want to leave. A man could be happy there. Evenings on the porch, music from a cylinder recording coming through the big horn speaker.
Gary, I agree with you about the existence of vapid worthless rot which is on full display in public. The physical manifestation of it is on full display. We can be the embodiment and voice of real substance and intgrity if we care to make the effort. If you speak to inspire and encourage younger generations you will find that they are thrilled to hear your words and very appreciative of your support. This is how we can leave the world a better place.
Let’s see…women in the US couldn’t vote yet. Jim Crow laws were widely practiced. People died from the flu in massive numbers just a few years after TR’s presidency. Many more lives were lost to infections caused by bacteria, since antibiotics hadn’t yet been developed. Yes, that period of time looks dandy when you omit the improvements since, which we sadly take for granted.
@@kepckatherinec805 Hmmmm, let’s talk about the worst president ever, HOBAMA, umkay? Let’s talk about the ruination of our country since that bastard took office in '09, umkay??? Yeah, you probably voted for the prick, so naturally you wouldn’t want to go there... 🤤🤤🤤
You’re right - trump’s republican party has brought things to the lowest point since the Revolutionary War. Thank God the Founding Fathers aren’t around to witness the anarchy, immorality, depravity and destruction of the trump republicans.
HM, he had a very hard life -- as a child suffered from asthma so bad that his father would bundle him up and take him on carriage rides in winter to help ease his breathing. Then his wife died giving birth to Alice, and his mother died on the same day. That nearly finished him. He fled to the Dakotas for solace living out there for a few years. He was ashamed that his father had bought a substitute for himself during the Civil War. In response, Teddy was always ready for any sort of political conflict, hence his service during the Spanish American war. His son died when his tiny plane crashed in WW1. That really made Teddy come to terms with what war can really mean: sacrifice and grief. He went on an expedition to the Amazon and nearly died, losing about 60 pounds in the attempt. This pretty much ruined him physically and he died at age 60. Yet, he had victories too -- building up his body to overcome his asthma, being head negotiator to end the Russo-Japanese war thus earning a Nobel Peace prize, serving as NY Congressman and president of the USA. Read the wonderful "Mornings on Horseback" by David McCullough, the definitive and very readable bio of TR. There are many other good ones as well.
Fantastic woodwork but it looks so gloomy and dark-But that was the style back then. Even my families small Victorian home in the suburbs had that style
I heard a story that at the White house, Theodore would invite foreign dignitaries to come outside and look at the stars. After a bit, he would say, "goodnight". It was his way of reminding all of them just how small mankind was in the universe. A way of humbling over inflated egos. Always loved that story.
What is it today? Lol we live in a modern society that doesn’t want to recognize racism as acceptable. Back then black people didn’t even have human rights, noe could women vote… sooooo
It's interesting that a video about Roosevelt's house never says where this house is located. I literally had to Google it to find out where this place is. Long Island New York
I love Sagamore Hill. I live on Long Island. But, I gotta tell ya that at the 6:59 minute mark, some revision of the script is needed. The word "myriad" is misused. "A plethora," yes; "a myriad," NO.
It was so dark inside with all the dark woods; I wonder why ppl didn't get depressed in such interiors but I think all the dark woods said "wealth and ease". I bet there was a lot of sweaty lolling around on beds by the kids reading on summer vacations interspersed with horse rides and playing on the beach, nature lore, hikes in straight lines no matter what lay in your way; etc. The house would have been hot, yet fairly chilly in winter, hence all the portable heaters in each room. It reminds me of my grandparents' small home in PA with those dark green window shades which could have helped control the heat a bit from pouring in and making the rooms hotter. And this house probably had pretty good cross-ventilation so if there were any sort of breeze the windows could be thrown open to allow fresh air inside....
This is really fantastic! REAL Americana that no longer exists. Edith sounds like every bit of a go get 'er and strong as TR! And "Princess" Alice sounds like more than a handful of self entitlement for her husband. I think I'd have to pass on that myself.
Natural why should he be canceled? U have to consider the context of the times in which behaviors are displayed! Christianity claims animals don't have souls! Which is responsible for callous animal killings! Grow up and stop canceling everything u disagree with! Be more resilient stop this I'm triggered mentality!
I could not watch very much of this video because it bothered me to see so many beautiful wild animals displayed on walls, floors and even a skin was casually displayed on the back of a chair. I know it was another age and another time but for me, now is now and I just can't watch things like this anymore.
Roosevelt is the reason we have national parks.
One more reason to love him.
I am forever grateful for this fact.
And got rid of monopolies by the Robber Barons!
@S. I wish that lasted
And yet we are told we are running out of space for humans
He was a great man . Boy do we need someone like him today!
Amen.
👍 YES
*HEAR HEAR!!*
Most Surely but definitely not another Franklin
You can say that again!! We need someone like him today. Of course times are totally different now. We can always dream....
T.R. was an extraordinary man to be sure. The entire Roosevelt family is worthy of our admiration.
I agree.
My parents had a house on Berry Hill Road in Syosset Long Island, NY. Roosevelt and family came in from NYC to the Syosset RR station and a horse and carriage would take them the 5 miles to Sagamore Hill. His daughter vomited as they passed by the house, and she was upset and crying.

Absolutely fantastic national treasure. So well preserved... like walking backwards in time to a far more peaceful and civilized culture.
I like how they used all their gifts and mementos.

If the Museum of Natural History is going to take down the statue of Teddy outside,
they should give it to Sagamore Hill to display. Bully!
The portrait should not be taken down.
Opps....I mean the statue should not be removed...it needs to stay right where it is.

This was very touching. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
What a wonderful tour! Thank you so much for the very personal look into a real family home.
I have visited the ‘Summer White House’ many times. I will be back again in September for another glorious visit.
Well good.
It was a time when great men did 'stuff' and mediocre men read about it.
He was a great person and President!
Very informative and an excellent narrator. The Roosevelts seemed to have the instinct to know what was important in life
One of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen
My second favorite president. I would have loved hunting with him.
This home is extraordinary. This is not like a palace but a home filled with activity, love and excitement. I'm so glad I finally had a chance to see it.
When I visited this house, I felt so warm and happy and comfortable inside. I love this home.
Thank you for sharing this lovely home.

We live on Long Island and have been there a few times. Very lovely.

Excellent video. Thank you.
I used to live down the road from Sagamore Hill, in Oyster Bay. It is a beautiful place. the view of the Bay from the porch is awesome.
Very good video! 👍
Impressive Home And Decor!
I remember visiting there 60 years ago as a child.
Excellent
I love this country so much but I am sad to see what’s is going on now. There is no respect anymore.

When was there respect? The country was stolen and built on slavery. Who had respect for who? The older generations are the most disrespectful
Thank you for the excellent video 😊

I would love to visit here. Bucket list.
The homes were full of dark mahogany in the 1900s. My mother luved it in antiques.
Fantastic woodwork but it looks so gloomy and dark-But that was the style back then. Even my families small Victorian home in the suburbs had that style
What a beautiful place. All the item they not only used but put all item on display
What a life he led.
Pretty home
I’m glad the historical home has been preserved and saved from destruction
I live in the Township of Oyster Bay on Long Island New York fortunate to have visited Sagamore Hill several times. Very interesting place

Beautiful home. He’s a distant cousin.
I Loved this video ! I got to know a Man that once was The President of The United States

This is the coolest house in America. History wise.
How did it go from this to what it is today? Beautiful historical home, fit for a President. Significance of Importance.
What is it today? Lol we live in a modern society that doesn’t want to recognize racism as acceptable. Back then black people didn’t even have human rights, noe could women vote… sooooo
A great house for the greatest of men.
It's interesting that a video about Roosevelt's house never says where this house is located. I literally had to Google it to find out where this place is. Long Island New York
The originality of Roosevelt's mind is displayed without the house.
I love Sagamore Hill. I live on Long Island. But, I gotta tell ya that at the 6:59 minute mark, some revision of the script is needed. The word "myriad" is misused. "A plethora," yes; "a myriad," NO.
Love this interior. But I would not have survived back then without A/C lol.
It was so dark inside with all the dark woods; I wonder why ppl didn't get depressed in such interiors but I think all the dark woods said "wealth and ease". I bet there was a lot of sweaty lolling around on beds by the kids reading on summer vacations interspersed with horse rides and playing on the beach, nature lore, hikes in straight lines no matter what lay in your way; etc. The house would have been hot, yet fairly chilly in winter, hence all the portable heaters in each room.

Pls do the Franklin Delano Roosevelt home
at 2:49 it should be Chief Justice or Chief Jurist John Marshall. That was his title.
This is really fantastic! REAL Americana that no longer exists. Edith sounds like every bit of a go get 'er and strong as TR! And "Princess" Alice sounds like more than a handful of self entitlement for her husband. I think I'd have to pass on that myself.

Theres a wonderful biography of T. ROOSEVELT. that I would encourage anyone to read.
He was a great REPUBLICAN potus
It was a different Republican party back then. Nowadays it is all projection
