#HappyHanukkah! Did you know #TheodoreRoosevelt displayed two seven-arm menorahs in the North Room of his home? The menorahs were a gift from Mrs. James T. Leavitt, a family friend of TR's parents. Unfortunately, very little else is known about these curious items, including whether or not TR and the family ever placed and lit candles in them. #Hanukkah #FindYourPark Photos: 1. A gold seven-armed menorah against a white background. 2. A photo of the North Room with hunting trophies and other decorations displayed, with the menorah circled. NPS
