Theodore Roosevelt’s Sagamore Hill home will close in December for as long as three years while the popular tourist destination undergoes a $6.2-million rehabilitation.

It will be the largest construction project at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site since Roosevelt built the Victorian mansion in Cove Neck in the 1880s.
