The Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) announces that it is suspending its plans to build a Theodore Roosevelt museum, and that it is searching for a new Executive Director. The TRA also plans a “Theodore Roosevelt Strenuous Life Weekend” in August 2009 to commemorate the 130th anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt’s ascent of Mount Katahdin in Maine. The announcement highlights Roosevelt’s relationship with William Wingate Sewall and Wilmot S. Dow of Maine who would work as ranch hands for Roosevelt in the Dakota Badlands, and it notes that the weekend events will be guided by the actor Joe Wiegand.
