The Childhood of a Renowned President

Only one US president was born in New York City. Raised in a townhouse at 28 E 20th St, Theodore Roosevelt would grow up to be our 26th President and become immortalized on Mount Rushmore. However, he started life as a sickly yet bright boy who exercised to improve his health and began a lifelong passion for the strenuous life. - NPS
