Sagamore Hill is a destination for thousands of visitors each year. People are drawn to the site for its history, scenic beauty, and serene landscape.

The park's 83 acres of forested areas, meadows, salt marsh and beach are home to birds, small mammals, turtles, frogs and insects. Paths and a nature trail provide a wonderful place to walk with your family or a pet.

Visitors are encouraged to tour Theodore Roosevelt's home and explore the Old Orchard Museum and Bookstore. You must obtain tickets for a guided tour of the Roosevelt home. Sagamore Hill also hosts several special events and programs throughout the year.

A picnic area is available for visitors to enjoy an outdoor meal. Food, other than small snacks and beverages, is not available on site, so plan on bringing your own lunch.

A visit to Sagamore Hill is not complete without a visit to nearby historical and natural attractions, including the Village of Oyster Bay, Young's Cemetery (Roosevelt gravesite), Planting Fields, the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center, and numerous other parks, museums.
