A History Lesson Your Class Will Enjoy

Learners of various ages, from third graders to high school and college students, enjoy field trips to Sagamore Hill. Aside from being a unique and very memorable place, it is the only presidential site on Long Island. It is a source of local importance and pride for students in surrounding communities, and it is a site that welcomes visitors from across the country and around the world.

The staff at Sagamore Hill try to make class visits as multi-disciplinary as possible - touching on political and social history, art, architecture, technology, geography and nature. We will discuss not only President Roosevelt's major accomplishments but also his daily habits - playing with his six children, going on hikes in the woods, swimming at the beach - to convey to students how "normal" the president really was.
