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 welcoming place for learners 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, 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.

Did You Know?
"You have to go out, but you don't have to come back." Such was the life of a surfman from fall to spring. The forgotten heroes of the U.S. Life-Saving Service rescued numerous shipwreck victims from Assateague's waters. The island was home to 4 Life-Saving Stations in the late 1800's-early 1900's.
