Education

Extend the students' classroom into Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site and explore how early childhood influenced America's 26th President.

Take a tour of the Birthplace and explore five period rooms, including the restored library, dining room, parlor, nursery, and master bedroom. Explore the artifacts in these rooms and learn stories of how growing up in Manhattan influenced the man Theodore Roosevelt became.

Explore the youth of our 26th president and learn more about Theodore Roosevelt's adult life within the museum's exhibit gallery that contain a wealth of Roosevelt memorabilia, including family photographs, political cartoons and his Rough Rider uniform. Roosevelt's political career and his activities as an outdoorsman will be discussed in these areas.

Please Note: The upper exhibit gallery, known as the 'Lion's Room', is currently closed for renovations.
