Very interesting tour. Taken back in time to the murder of President McKinley and the days which followed leading to President Roosevelt unique inauguration.

Learning more about President Roosevelt, and seeing where he spent his time just before and right after his inauguration.

Rich was a fantastic tour guide! Very passionate about Teddy and also Buffalo. The tour was brief and very informative. Highly recommend.

A great piece of history. Worth the time to take the tour and learn about Theodore Roosevelt and why/how he took office.

I had heard stories in the past about the inauguration of TR, but it was great to get the facts. Our tour guide gave us lots of good information, and it was clear he loves Buffalo, the TR inauguration site, and sharing the stories.

The guided tour is brief and informative. There are two compelling videos. Then, you are free to tour the museum and grounds on your own. We learned a lot and left with a renewed interest and respect for TR.

Outstanding guide who was so knowledgeable and accommodating. Never knew about this until checking Things to do in Buffalo on Trip Advisor. Great restoration of the facility, outstanding exhibits and learned things about Teddy none of us ever knew. Really enjoyed this historical treat.

We really like the interactive displays! Our tour guide was great!!! A great stop when visiting Buffalo

I enjoyed the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural tour. It was a combination of recreated and original news clips and shorts, a very nice Pan Am Expo 1901 exhibit and interactive activities. The docent was very knowledgeable. I would have liked the docent to play a more important role in the entire experience. This is not a criticism of the docent but more of the way the tour is put together. The entire tour took about an hour. It was definitely worth the cost of the ticket. But it can be improved on by giving the docent a larger part in explaining the history of the times, in addition to reading about it.

The tour was conducted by the National Park Staff. There are NOT a lot to visitors to this site. You can walk up and get the tour. If you are a Senior and have the National Park pass the admission is free. You do not need to purchase this in advance. The home is nice and the Park Service has done a good job of telling the story.

Seeing the room where he was saying the oath. Love the original woodwork. The tour guide is good and informative.

To preface this review: TR is my second favorite American President. We had a rainy day on our lake vacation, and my wife suggested a trip to Buffalo. I wasn’t sure what she had planned for us, but I was shocked it was the Theodore Roosevelt Inauguration Site. A beautiful building and a very professional, warm staff greets you. The gift shop and a few exhibits are on the first floor, followed by a guided tour of the actual house where Teddy became the 26th President. The house is wonderfully restored, though not original (they explain as to why on the tour), it allows you to step back to the turn of the 20th century for the unceremonious Inauguration of the first Progressive Era President. Bully!

Our party had 2 10 yr olds and they were able to enjoy the place too There is an elevator if needed Group was a bit large Location easy to find Parking is free

very well kept building and museum, national park guide give excellent tour of the home, a pretty significant event in US History

You can only see this place by joining a guided tour, but it is well worth it. I learned a lot of interesting things about Theodore Roosevelt. the era, and the history of Buffalo. If you have time, after the tour, wander around some of the streets nearby, to see a variety of architecture. The homes are lovely. Allen street is a good place for a bite to eat.

I was shocked to learn during the tour that people were going to tear down this beautiful house that is part of US history. We should all be grateful people saved it for us to enjoy. There were many interactive displays, which made it engaging for the children in our group and adults alike. It is well worth 1-2 hours of your time when you are in Buffalo. The gift shop was nice with both presidential items and Buffalo items.

We decided not to make a reservation (during the week on a Thursday), and just take our chances. We walked in just as a tour was starting-and it was us and another couple. This building commemorates a single day in history when President McKinley was assassinated, and Teddy became president. Interesting tour-and we enjoyed the top floor on our own. Senior admission was $9. each.

Full disclosure, I am a huge National Park fan, so while we were waiting to visit the Martin House, we went to visit this spot. It's not exactly like other sites, it's more about the story of how it came to be the site of Roosevelts inauguration. Worth the side trip if you are in Buffalo.

Great way to spend a few hours learning about Teddy Roosevelt. The historic site is well maintained with lots of interactive displays. We especially liked the second short picture film and the presidential office desk where you could see how your views and votes are vs Teddy’s. The desk is a great photo op and we really enjoyed the exhibit. This is a great exhibit for all ages. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Our tickets were for 3:30 however we were finished with our prior event at 2:30. They allowed us to do the 2:30 tour which was so nice. The site also has a paved parking lot so you do not have to fight for your life for street parking.

This was a definite must see for anyone who has even a passing interest in Teddy . The museum was actually a home where he was inaugurated after Taft had suddenly died in Town . lots of period foto's and facts and items on display and very fascinating . the guided tour was extremely good and made the trip much more worthwhile . the volunteers who take u on the tour were all very well educated and more importantly enthusiastic . takes a few hours to complete . quite a refreshing bit of history . Note: this is not a museum about Theodore Roosevelt . it's about that day in history in buffalo . and in American history . extremely well done . I cant remember the name of my guide but a true local . knew everything and answered all my questions and more !!
