Twenty-five years ago: The dedication of Sagamore Hill
Reprint of an article originally published in the New York Herald Tribune which describes the dedication ceremonies at Sagamore Hill in June 1953 which featured an address by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The article names some of the prominent guests, quotes from Eisenhower’s brief speech, and describes some aspects of the ceremony such as the presentation of a flag and flag pole for the historic site by the Boy Scouts.
A photograph of President Eisenhower standing in the back of an open car passing through Oyster Bay, New York on his way to Sagamore Hill accompanies the article.
