Sagamore Hill National Historic Site
Theodore Roosevelt's Summer White House.
Few museums in New York pack the variety of Sagamore Hill National Historic Site. Located in Oyster Bay, it pairs world-class permanent galleries with a steady rotation of special shows that keep repeat visits fresh. Audio guides and themed tours are available for visitors who want context beyond the wall labels.
Plan around your interests: highlights tours cover the must-sees in roughly 90 minutes, while a full visit can easily fill a day. The on-site café and bookshop are excellent for breaking up the visit.
