HARD WORK WORTH DOING: Conservation Treatment of Historic Wallpapers at Theodore Roosevelt’s Sagamore Hill
****************************************************************************************
‘Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.’  - Theodore Roosevelt

Over the last three years, a great many individuals have worked hard at work worth doing to complete the restoration and rehabilitation of Sagamore Hill, the home of Theodore Roosevelt from 1885 until his death in 1919. Staff members at the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site look forward to the grand re-opening of the house on July 12, 2015.

As part of the restoration project, the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) performed conservation treatment on historic wallpaper in the North Room of the house, working onsite in Oyster Bay, NY, as well as on sections of the wallpaper that were brought to the NEDCC lab in Andover, MA for treatment.
