The birthplace of TR is run by the National Park Service. Excellent tour guide who made history come to life. Learned alot about TR's father who was quite a philantropist and leader of New york City. Come a little early for the tour, it does fill up. Not very crowded though. Well worth the time. The home has been restored... More

Great tour by a guide that had a passion for history and the early life of Theodore Roosevelt. Very informative and went into details I never knew about our president. After you do the tour check out Union Square which is close byvand enjoy some time at the Farmers Market.

This is a short tour of the birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt. Interesting and informative. We learned a lot about a President we knew very little about. Tour is well laid out, guide was very knowledgeable and its FREE! Good time.

It's a lovely home very close to the Flatiron building. When I got there, it was pouring rain outside and the park service ranger and tour guide were nothing but hospitable in helping us dry off as much as possible. (They even let me use an electrical outlet to charge my phone.) It's not the original home, but it's a... More

We went unintentionally while walking in the area on Thanksgiving weekend and wound up thoroughly enjoying the tour and learning about Theodore Roosevelt's life and particularly is childhood. We learned about the physical barriers he faced and how he overcome them. We went with our two college age children and they also were glad we stopped.

With all the portrayals of Teddy Roosevelt later in his life and during his presidency, it was such a delight to see a gimplse of where the legend started his life. Due to my not reading the website correctly, I ended up there twice (they are closed Sundays and Mondays), but made the time on the morning of my departure... More

As other reviewers have noted, you'll have an excellent tour with well-informed and enthusiastic guides and you'll gain a new appreciation for a truly unique man. This year, 2012, is the 100th anniversary of the election campaign in which he was shot by a would-be assassin. The shirt with the hole in it, the glasses case, and his thick speech... More

Visited here with family during our recent New York trip. I had to see Teddy's birthplace as I had read two books recently about his life. This home was also not too far from my hotel which was another bonus. This is a National Historic Site and there is no cost to visit. The Roosevelt home is noted to be... More

A fascinating glimpse into New York City of the late 19th and early 20th century, as well as the early days of our 26th president. What a remarkable man and life! This home is a replica. The original was torn down in 1916 and was recreated as a memorial after Roosevelt died in 1919. A must for history buffs. Located... More
