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.
Please consider bringing your class on an educational visit to Sagamore Hill. Click here to Plan a Field Trip.

Did You Know?
The factory bells dominated daily life in Lowell. They woke the workers at 4:30 a.m., called them into the mill at 4:50, rang them out for breakfast and back in, out and in for dinner, out again at 7 p.m. at the day's close. The whole city, it seemed, moved together and did the mills' bidding.
