MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of the National Park Service to preserve the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site and to protect the Theodore Roosevelt home, and other associated resources where the Roosevelt family lived; and to interpret the life and significant accomplishments of the 26th President of the United States.

Sagamore Hill was opened to the public as a museum in 1953, under the auspices of the Theodore Roosevelt Association. It was privately run for about ten years before the entire property, along with the Roosevelt birthplace in Manhattan, was gifted to the federal government. Legislation establishing Sagamore Hill National Historic Site passed Congress and was signed by President Kennedy in July 1962. To read the Act click here.

The Superintendent's Compendium of Regulations is a useful document in learning the standard procedures by which Sagamore Hill operates and the rules that apply to our visitors.

Sagamore Hill NHS also operates under policies developed by the NPS Director, found here, and enforces regulations established by Congress.
