Theodore Roosevelt Association

The group is based in Oyster Bay, New York, on Long Island, where Roosevelt spent summers in his youth and would relocate in his adulthood.

[3] Led in the years 1919–1957 by Secretary and Director Hermann Hagedorn (1882–1964), the Association engaged in a wide spectrum of programs and activities to preserve Roosevelt's memory.

[4] In recent years, the organization's endeavors included creation and maintenance of About Theodore Roosevelt, the TRA web site at http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org, which has been criticized by scholars as hagiographic and hard to navigate.

[5] The organization also conducts the Theodore RooseveltR Police Awards (given in New York, Dallas, Boston, and Nashville to police officers who have overcome handicaps), and the Theodore Roosevelt Teddy Bear program, which each year gives teddy bears to hospitalized children in New York City and Nashville during the December Holiday season.

The TRA also publishes a quarterly journal, conducts occasional historical and educational conferences, and sponsors public speaking contests for high school students in New York.

Members also receive free admission to Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay and the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace in Manhattan, upon presentation of their membership cards.
