The Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historical Site (Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace) is a reconstruction of the townhouse where Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), the 26th President of the United States, lived from the time he was born until he was fourteen. The building, reconstructed by its architect Theodate Pope Riddle (1867-1946), was one of the first monumental building reconstructions dedicated to the memory of an American president. Go back in time to the mid-19th century to explore Theodore Roosevelt’s recreated childhood home, learn from a ranger what life was like for “Teedie” growing up, and discover how his childhood affected his adulthood.
