Join us on Saturday, December 2nd at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site for the annual “Christmas with the Roosevelts” holiday event. Seasonal music will be performed by the musical group Rose Tree and carolers will be on site to bring holiday cheer. Activities will include arts and crafts for children and complimentary hot cocoa and cider provided by the Friends of Sagamore Hill.

The event will feature decorating holiday cookies with the What’s Cooking ? Culinary School of Oyster Bay from 11AM-1PM as well as a holiday edition of “In the Kitchen with the Roosevelts”, a fun, hands-on program where children will be invited into the kitchen of the Roosevelt home to compare historic kitchen gadgets with contemporary ones. The program is free of charge and suitable for children ages 6-12. There will be four sessions of the program at 10:30AM, 11:00AM, 11:30AM and 12:00PM. Space is limited to 15 children per session, so reservations are required. Please reserve at Eventbrite or contact a park staff person for assistance. Parents will not be able to accompany children inside the Roosevelt kitchen due to space. Each child attending the kitchen program must be registered. Limited quantities of cookies to decorate may be available to children not registered for In the Kitchen with the Roosevelts”.
