Memorial Day at Sagamore and Caumsett.





View from the Fields mansion, down to the lake.

The Fields mansion. Former home of the the former newspaper and department store mogul Marshall Fields III

Down the path from the mansion to the lake.


Sure, this photo looks idyllic, but it was next to a lake... with geese who also like shade... When we picked up the blanket there was a big green poo stain. Leigh Ann blamed it on the geese....


The home of Theodore Roosevelt, I've never been to a more quiet and comfortable looking "estate."



This windmill pumped water from the property's well.

Sagamore Hill's old brick car port.


Above the front door, and also reportedly inked into the former president's skin - "He who planted will preserve."


The back door by the car port

Antlers on the eave of the roof.


Leigh, mourning (?) the death of Teddy Roosevelt's horse "Texas."


Headstone for all of the Roosevelt's lost pets.
