Have you ever wondered what, exactly, brought about the end of the Gilded Age?Look no further than our 26th president, Theodore Roosevelt, who was inaugurated in 1901 after the assassination of William McKinley, and pivoted the US away from its laissez-faire business traditions and toward the Progressive Era.
However, Roosevelt's home, Sagamore Hill — nicknamed the Summer White House during his presidency — was built in 1884, smack in the middle of the Gilded Age.The Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Oyster Bay, New York, encompasses Roosevelt's home, his son's house , a nature trail, a pet cemetery, and acres of land.The park is free to enter, though you can pay $15 for a guided tour of Roosevelt's home.
