A great attraction with tons of historic artifacts during Theodore Roosevelt's life. The museum provides great insight to the enigma of Theodore Roosevelt, and fully discusses Roosevelt's legacy in America. There are some interesting facts present, such as Roosevelt never allowing himself to be photographed in his tennis uniform to preserve his manly image.
The tour was decent: the recreation feels historic and is a glimpse to how upper class life was in 19th century NYC.

Had some time to spare and happened to be a few blocks away. Wish I realized the last tour was at 3:30 to go upstairs but I still got a chance to browse the memorabilia.
Mr Nick the guide gave us an enchanting glimpse to a life well lived - Teddy Roosevelt. A must visit for history buffs. It’s a well maintained brownstone house. Keep an eye out for the collectibles around the house.
Really nice free tour offered by the National Park service. The only way to get up into the house is via a tour otherwise you can pop in and look at the museum off the lobby. The museum talks moreso about Theodore Roosevelt's childhood and doesn't focus much on his adult life. A large portion of the tour talks about the evolution of the house and its demolition. With that being said this home is a replica that was built in the 1920s shortly after Theodore Roosevelt's death by his family. It is really quite the place and our tour guide was very informative. If you have mobility restrictions it is important to note that the tour consists of many stairs and I am unsure of any elevator access being available. There is however a small chair lift in front of the building that would at least allow you to visit the museum portion of the home.
They have a nice detailed history of his presidency and a great collection of political cartoons that I'm a fan of. I learned a lot well here it's definitely worth a visit
I visited this museum 8 years ago. It's a very cool place and free to visit. Just works a few days per week.
For those that enjoy US history, I can’t recommend this location enough. To visit the birthplace of such an important and iconic figure is really inspiring and a unique experience for New York.
I suggest signing up for a tour which shows you various parts of the house.
The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about all things Theodore Roosevelt.
If you’re lucky, you can also go into the library room if a curator is available!
