On Saturday, Oct. 23rd, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Cove Neck, an incorporated village in the town of Oyster Bay, will host a traditional Fall Family Festival from 11 AM to 4 PM. The festival will celebrate Sagamore Hill's agricultural history as well as Theodore Roosevelt's 152nd birthday! Activities will include old-fashioned games and crafts for kids, farming skills demonstrations, exhibits, music, pony rides and an animal petting area, food vendors and more.
The day's events will include Theodore Roosevelt as portrayed by James Foote, (pictured at left) traditional American music from Theodore Roosevelt's era performed by the Sagamore Hill Band, and a ranger led Point-to-Point Walk similar to the ones TR designed for his own children. Demonstrations will include a blacksmith, a beekeeper and interactive children's activities provided by Hallockville Museum Farm. There will also be dairy cow demonstration presented by Suffolk County Farm & Education Center of the Cornell Cooperative Extension, and sheep shearing provided by Long Island Livestock Company.
In celebration of TR's birthday, all of the events including admission to the Roosevelt home in Oyster Bay, NY are free (except the pony rides and petting area).
The rain date for the festival will be Sunday, Oct. 24th. For more information, call (516) 922-4788.

Rosalinda,
This post is now featured in "Observances and Celebrations." Congratulations. :)

Steve - Sagamore Hill events always bring in good attendance. Maybe because Teddy Roosevelt is a famous son of Oyster Bay and we love TR here. Thanks for the feature.
