Historic Tours

The only way to access the upstairs floors of historic period rooms at Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace is on a tour. Tours are 45 minutes in length and explore five rooms that have been recreated to look like Theodore Roosevelt’s childhood home. A ranger or volunteer will be your guide during your tour and answer questions that you may have. All public tours are first-come, first-served.

Please be aware that tours may reach capacity before your desired tour time, so be sure to arrive early. Registration must be done in-person on the day of your desired tour. The Birthplace does not offer booking of advanced reservations for tours, unless there are 10 or more people in your party, in which case it is required.
