The Teddy Roosevelt House n NYC at 28 East 20th Street is very much worth a visit. It is a National Historical site and contains a wealth of Americana including a signed Lincoln photo.
Admission is free.

Richard,
I actually believe it's $3.00 to get in, but WELL worth it. Among other great items on display is the speach Teddy was about to present when there was an attempt on his life. The bullet pierced the speach folded in his shirt pocket and collapsed a lung, but Roosevelt refused to go to the hospital until he finished his 2+ hour speach.
