The Bayport Heritage Association was formed in 1983 and is dedicated to the preservation of the history of Bayport. The association has an extensive collection of archival photographs, vintage clothing, artifacts and books. Through the years, the group has been particularly active in the restoration of Meadow Croft, a John Ellis Roosevelt summer home and now a historical museum on the border of Bayport and Sayville. The association provides lectures and resources- educational, historical, environmental and social programs and services for the community and interested public. In June 2018, Blue Point joined the Association to include both communities.

The Roosevelts in New York City

Bill Bleyer, Author, Historian

Sunday, February 15, 2026

2:00pm -4:00pm


Historian and author Bill Bleyer, a former Newsday staff writer, will present insights from his latest book, The Roosevelts in New York City. During this presentation, Bleyer will explore the unique locations in New York City where members of the Roosevelt family lived and worked revealing the private stories and interactions that shaped this iconic American family. The presentation will highlight the Roosevelts’ enduring legacy in Manhattan, including Theodore Roosevelt’s formative years in a brownstone on East 20th Street and the influence of his uncle, Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, (former summer resident of Bayport) who lived next door in a twin brownstone and fostered Theodore’s interest in conservation. The talk will provide an in-depth look at these notable family residences and the personal stories behind the Roosevelts’ prominence in New York City. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
