Visit this National Park site to see a recreation of Teddy Roosevelt's childhood home (the original was demolished in 1916).

The tours are free, take less than an hour, and are the only way to get upstairs and actually see the house. It’s not the original building but a lot of the furnishings are original.

If you want to take the tour , you MUST sign-in... No "ifs", "ands" or "buts".  Go to the front desk, give the first name of someone who is in your group and the number of people in your party.

It's OK, but it's not his birthplace, but a recreation--rebuilt in 1918. 60% of the artifacts belonged to the family, but it's free to get in.
