filming Theodore Roosevelt’s grave
One hundred years ago today … Thousands visited Theodore Roosevelt’s grave in Oyster Bay, Long Island, in Nassau County.
The New York Herald, 31 May, 1920, p. 4. Newspapers.com.
Either that day or some other day in 1920, someone (now unknown) filmed the dead President’s grave site. The footage has been archived and preserved by the Library of Congress. (Its official page is here.)
