In the Heart of History: The Women in Theodore Roosevelt’s World
February 14th , 6:00pm – 7:00pm
On February 14, 1884—Valentine’s Day—future US President Theodore Roosevelt marked a somber moment in his diary by placing an X across the page. Below it, a note read “The light has gone out of my life.” This day, typically associated with celebrating love, became a day of mourning for Roosevelt as both his beloved mother and dear wife succumbed to illness within hours of each other. They were laid to rest at Green-Wood in matching rosewood caskets.
Price: $9, $4 for members.

O’Keefe, Chief Executive Officer of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation, and author of the forthcoming book, The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt: The Women Who Created a President.
