Program Description

Event Details

Join us for an exciting History Alive! with former President Theodore Roosevelt.

In addition to being the 26th president, Theodore Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize, led the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War, served as governor of New York, authored more than 35 books, ranched in the Badlands of the Dakota Territory, lectured around the world and established some of our most beloved national parks. A strong advocate of the “life of strenuous endeavor” Roosevelt pushed himself to overcome a sickly childhood. The youngest president in our history, he championed progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.

Portrayed by Gene Worthington.

This presentation is a History Alive! program of the West Virginia Humanities Council.
