Visiting
Tickets to visit the home are purchased at the Sagamore Hill Visitor Center and cost $5 for adults and free for children under the age of 15. Guided tours of the home are guaranteed on the hour.
The site is open for visitation seven days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day. During the fall and winter months it is open Wednesday through Sunday and closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
On December 5, 2011, the house closed for a three year, $6.2 million renovation. The visitors center, museum, and adjoining grounds remain open, and tours of the grounds are still conducted. As of October 2012, the expected reopening is in 2015.

Famous quotes containing the word visiting:
“Mrs. Sneed and her daughter, Miss Austine Sneed, are visiting us—Washington correspondents of excellent character.... We are much interested in their accounts of Washington affairs. Nothing could be further from our desire than to return to Washington and again enter its whirl, either socially or politically, but we are interested in seeing Washington with the roof off.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“According to legend, Dr. Sappington purchased his coffin several years before his death and kept it under his bed, with apples and nuts in it for his visiting grandchildren.”
—Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
...
I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
