Located about 25 miles from Manhattan on the North Shore of Long Island, Sagamore Hill was the home of Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, from 1885 until 1919. He called it his Summer White House and it was luxurious for its time, with 23 rooms and a bathroom with a then-rare porcelain tub. During the years he was the president, Roosevelt hosted many foreign dignitaries at Sagamore Hill. The house was the venue of the crucial peace talks that negotiated the end to the Russo-Japanese War. Roosevelt died at Sagamore Hill in 1919 and was buried at Youngs Memorial Cemetery nearby. Today, Sagamore Hill is a National Historic Site and includes the Theodore Roosevelt Museum.
