President Roosevelt to return home for holiday

The Town of Oyster Bay invites residents to experience history coming alive as President Theodore Roosevelt returns home to Oyster Bay to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Spanish-American War. Famed Teddy Roosevelt reprisor Joe Wiegand will host a remembrance ceremony at the Derby-Hall Bandstand — the same site from which President Roosevelt delivered speeches — on July 3, at 5:00 p.m. at the intersection of Audrey Ave. and Shore Road in Oyster Bay.

“What better way to celebrate the American spirit in advance of Independence Day than seeing our 26th President visit the place he once called home, the hamlet of Oyster Bay,” said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “This is a great opportunity for residents of all ages to step back in time and welcome President Roosevelt as he returns home to Oyster Bay.”
