Located at the end of Cove Neck Road in the Incorporated Village of Cove Neck, New York, on Long Island, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site is 40 kilometers of Manhattan. It derives its name from Sagamore which is the title of the head of an Indian tribe.
Although a native of New York City, Theodore Roosevelt spent many summers of his youth on extended vacations with his family in the Oyster Bay area. Overall today the home has twenty three rooms.
In July 1962 Congress established Sagamore Hill National Historic Site to preserve the house as a unit of the National Park Service. The twenty-three room house is open to the public by guided tour, and almost all the furnishings are original.
The other attraction at the site is the Theodore Roosevelt Museum, which chronicles the life and career of the President. The museum is housed in the Old Orchard building, the former residence of Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and his family.
