Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace

28 East 20th Street in the Gramercy neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, is a historically significant site, because this was where US President Theodore Roosevelt was born on 27 October, 1858. His parents were Theodore Roosevelt Sr (1831-1878) and Martha "Mittie" Bulloch (1835-1884). Roosevelt was the second of four children. The house where he was born has been restored to display memorabilia related him. Visitors to the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace can trace his whole life, from the toys he most likely played with as a child, to his presidential campaign button, and even his hat.

The Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace is open Tuesdays to Saturdays at 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with guided tours on the hour until 4:00 pm. Entrance fee is US$3.00 per adult.
