First off, let me say that Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite President and it was really cool to tour this building. HOWEVER, I don't think people should be charged to get in to National Park Historic sites. OUR GOVERNMENT needs to fund these sites and have free public access. That being said, on to the tour..... My husband and I arrived about 40 minutes before the next tour was to begin so we spent that time browsing the small gift shop and looking around. When it came time for our tour, the Guide introduced herself and it began with a short video. We were guided through the dining area of the home and then went into another room to watch another video. We were then led into the living room area where TR took the oath of office. We were then led upstairs to a hallway with a few wall exhibits and another room that had a replica Presidential desk. The cool thing about this is that if you sit at the desk and type on the virtual typewriter, you can get your picture taken at the desk and emailed to you. That was really cool! Overall, I found the Guide to be knowledgeable and polite. We had a good time here.

We visited as a group, arrived too early, then found out the first tour time could not accommodate us. So we waited. You see a long video presentation then are taken by guide on the tour. There is another video presentation, with commentary in between rooms by the guide. Our disappointment was there was less presentation by the guide, and many / most of the artifacts in the house were not original, some were even replaced by more modern pieces. We were hoping for a truly historical experience, and did not get it. But, it was still interesting to see / learn more about this part of our history.

I would recommend this site for anyone interested in American historical events. The guides are super and very knowledgeable regarding all aspects leading up to this historic presidential event. I was very pleased with my visit. I dont see it as a place young children would appreciate since to them it will be a house in which they just "cant touch". I do recommend it to all others though.
