FOSH Celebrated Constitution Day
On September 17, 1787, The Constitution of the United States was signed by the state representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. To celebrate this historic event, The Friends of Sagamore Hill handed out free pocket-sized Constitutions to over 125 visitors to our table at the Sagamore Hill picnic area under the tent.

A Friends Sponsored Event: Teddy's Homecoming Jubilee on July 3, 2022
‘Teddy’s Homecoming Jubilee’ was hosted by The Friends of Sagamore Hill and the Oyster Bay Main Street Association, in partnership with the Town of Oyster Bay. Famed Theodore Roosevelt Reprisor Joseph Wiegand arrived at the Oyster Bay stop on the Long Island Rail Road, from which he headed to the Oyster Bay Rail Road Museum. He then was driven in an antique 1900s-era classic car, arriving at the bandstand to reenact President Roosevelt’s famous 1903 Independence Day speech.
“We are so pleased to partner with the Oyster Bay Main Street Association and The Friends of Sagamore Hill to welcome home our most famous resident, President Theodore Roosevelt,” said Town Clerk LaMarca.
Following the reenactment of the President’s speech, residents were invited to join President Roosevelt for a ‘meet and greet’ at Teddy’s Bully Bar on Audrey Avenue. The establishment offered signature cocktails celebrating President Roosevelt, with a portion of proceeds going to The Friends of Sagamore Hill.
