Sagamore Hill National Historic Site roads that were damaged during Hurricane Sandy will soon be repaired with the help of federal funding. Last week, Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) announced that the Department of Transportation (DOT)’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has allocated funds to repair the roads.
“Sagamore Hill provides local residents and visitors with an incredible peek into the life of President Theodore Roosevelt and the land and house he loved,” said Israel/ Sagamore Hill was the home of Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, from 1885 until his death in 1919. The main house is currently undergoing rehabilitation and is expected to reopen to the public in 2015. The other areas of the property remain open.
