Home for the Holidays Tours
Thanks to our long-time partnership with the 8th District Federated Garden Clubs of NYS, the TR Site will once again be decorated for the holidays. All month, enjoy a special holiday-themed tour that showcases the decorations while looking at how Buffalonians celebrated at the turn-of-the-20th-century. (As a fund-raising period, these holiday-themed tours will be offered in place of regular tours throughout December.)
All proceeds benefit the TR Site and its educational programming.
Theodore Roosevelt's Ghost: The History and Memory of an American Icon
GUEST SPEAKER: Michael Patrick Cullinane Professor of U.S. History & the Rob & Melani Walton Chair of Theodore Roosevelt Studies Dickinson State University, ND
Theodore Roosevelt died over one hundred years ago, and yet, debate still erupts over his legacy. The removal of statues, the erection of new memorials, and his appearance in pop culture shows the relevance of TR today. Michael Cullinane will explore the latest commemorations and invocations to show that we are all agents of TR's ghost.
It's one of the most amazing and improbable moments in American history. It's the story of a man thrust into national prominence following great tragedy. A man who went on to become one of the most influential U.S. Presidents of all time. And you can experience it for yourself, at the house where Theodore Roosevelt was sworn into office, where the modern presidency began, and where a legend was introduced to the world.
The Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site is operated by the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site Foundation, a registered non-profit organization, through a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service.
