NYS Assemblymember to Trump: Restore Hours at Sagamore Hill

March 31, 2025

ALBANY, NEW YORK – In response to the cutting of hours at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, New York State Assembly Judiciary Committee Chair Charles Lavine (D-North Shore, Long Island) has written President Trump a letter expressing deep concern. The reduction, which will limit the public’s ability to visit the former Oyster Bay home of President Theodore Roosevelt, comes as a direct result of the Trump administration’s firing of nearly 1,000 National Park Service employees. In his letter, Lavine notes the obvious value of the historical landmark and seeks President Trump’s assistance in the full restoration of its hours.

The full content of the letter is attached.
