An Evening with Teddy Roosevelt
The Oregon Historical Society is pleased to welcome back Teddy Roosevelt!
You will be enthralled by Joe Wiegand's unparalleled grasp of history and uncanny resemblance to our twenty-sixth's president. His depth of knowledge about the personal anecdotes in Teddy Roosevelt's life make his audiences feel they are truly in the presence of the former U.S. president and adventurer.
Wiegand is regarded as our nation's premier Theodore Roosevelt reprisor. A political science graduate of The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, Joe was a Harry S. Truman Scholar and Thomas Watson Fellow in his college days. After a twenty-five year career in politics and public policy, Joe began to tour the country as Theodore Roosevelt.
In 2008, to celebrate Theodore Roosevelts 150th birthday, Joe, his wife, Jenny, daughter, Sam, and golden retriever, Faith, toured the 50 states. Their travels culminated with a performance in the East Room of the White House for President and Mrs. Bush on T.R.s birthday.
Since then, Wiegand has been bringing T.R. to life for audiences across the country. This performance is made possible by the generous support of Wells Fargo!
