I went a couple times with my family. I recall the last time better. We went with my dad, nephew, and brother. My dad was a teacher and big history buff. He was dealing with Alzheimer’s later on in life, but he loved Sagamore Hill. We had an amazing time walking through the site, seeing the amazing rooms, acreage, and artifacts. I always think of my dad when I see Sagamore Hill refernces. It is a great memory. Writing this now, I miss him (passed in 2022 from the disease), and I’d love to take my immediate family, as I didnt have kids at the time in part in his memory. Thank you for preserving this beautiful and interesting site.
Sincerely,
Sagamore Hill National Historic Site
