Recent Preservation & Protection

A Letter from Sagamore Hill's Superintendent Jonathan Parker

Sagamore Hill's Superintendent Jonathan Parker outlines how a recent $10,000 donation made to the site by The Friends of Sagamore Hill will be used and how much it is appreciated.  Superintendent Parker also included photos of the removal of a Black Cherry tree that posed a hazard to the public visiting the Pet Cemetery.  The removal was funded by The Friends' donation.

The Friends of Sagamore Hill 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.
