Pets are as welcome at Sagamore Hill today as they were when the Roosevelts lived here a century ago. The six Roosevelt children often kept "normal" pets such as dogs, and they also had a variety of more exotic animals like parrots, guinea pigs, mice, and a badger named Josiah.
Visitors may bring their pets to Sagamore Hill to explore the 83 acre property any day from dawn to dusk.
