In honor of Inauguration Day 2025, today we reflect on the startling contrast of TR's two inauguration days. Amidst grief and shock after the death of President William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt took the presidential oath of office right here in what is now the TR Inaugural Site in Buffalo NY.

TR ran for President in the 1904 election and rode to a second term on a huge wave of public support. Inaugurations were held in March back in TR's time. President Roosevelt is pictured here giving his inaugural speech on the East Front of the U.S. Capitol amidst presidential pomp and circumstance and large crowds. TR must have thought this was a BULLY day indeed!

ARTIFACT OF THE MONTH -
