The Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site
The Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site has completed renovations and is once again open to the public! In addition to physical upgrades to the Inaugural Site, we have also developed exciting new exhibits and interpretation to tell the story of Theodore Roosevelt's 1901 inauguration in exciting and engaging new ways.
On September 14, 1901, Theodore Roosevelt took the oath of office as the 26th president of the United States in Buffalo, NY. His predecessor, William McKinley, had been shot by an assassin at the Pan-American Exposition on September 6, dying at 2:15 AM on the 14th.
We have reopened to the public as of June 20, 2009! The Site offers guided tours of the Ansley Wilcox home, the historic Buffalo, NY house in which Roosevelt was inaugurated as our 26th president in 1901. The tour includes four restored areas and a permanent exhibit. Special temporary exhibits are also occasionally offered.
