The Friends of Sagamore Hill recently paid for the restoration of the original door knocker on the front door of the Old Orchard Museum.  This is what it looked like prior to restoration.

The Sagamore Hill NHS did not own any document on Sagamore Hill letterhead.  Above is a manuscript page from a speech TR gave in 1902 on the trusts in Cincinnati.  The Friends of Sagamore Hill purchased it and donated it to the NHS collection.
