Cultural Landscape Report for Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Oyster Bay, New York

摘要

This Cultural Landscape Report Treatment Plan update is a critical management document for a Presidential site whose cultural landscape is arguably as important as the buildings and collections contained within them. Theodore Roosevelt loved Sagamore Hill and used and appreciated every aspect of his working farm. Whether riding his horses through the fields, watching birds in the orchard, chopping trees to save his water view, or leading the children on 'point to point walks' at the beach, the grounds were always an important part of family life at Sagamore Hill. This updated treatment plan builds on the site's 1995 Cultural Landscape Report and the orginal treatment plan completed in 1998. The goal is updating the plan was to ensure that the cultural landscape recommendations in the 2008 General Management Plan are clearly integrated into the park management program. The plan details and explains those recommendations, and incorporates new historical information and photographs discovered over the last ten years. It provides detailed mapping and architectural drawings to guide the implementation of the recommendations.
