  • This sponsorship supports the 65 sq ft history display area. The display area will feature four exhibits in 2026, open to members, invited guests and the public at specific events.

    The current exhibit is titled "Summer of '98 - Cuba" and examines the movement of the Army to Cuba, the two major land battles of Las Guasimas (June 24th, 1898) and San Juan Heights (July 1st, 1898) and the Naval Battle of Santiago (July 3rd, 1898). This sponsorship supports procuring artifacts, signage and printing necessary materials for the display area.

    The sponsorship will result in signage (2' x 2') in the display recognizing the sponsoring organization or person for a period of one year.
  • This sponsorship is used to offset the costs of outfitting a mannequin representing a Rough Rider uniform of the Spanish American War. Due to the high cost of actual Rough Riders artifacts, other artifacts from the period will likely be used.

    All our artifact and placard sponsorships provide appropriate credit to the sponsor in the label we will use in the display for the item. The display label remains with the item no matter how many exhibits we create which feature the artifact.

Sponsorships for the Rough Riders  History Showcase

The 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment - Rough Riders, Inc. was formed for the purpose of creating and perpetuating a living memorial to the unique accomplishment of President Theodore Roosevelt and the members of the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment known as "The Rough Riders."  To accomplish our mission we operate and maintain the Teddy Roosevelt Museum and Library in our clubhouse.  Our Museum is recognized as a Blue Star Museum.  We provide tours of our museum and upon request take out a display as a road show.

Sponsorships for parts of the display (signage, U.S Army and U.S. Navy memorabilia) are available.

This fiscal year we are curating a series of exhibits that will rotate quarterly.  These exhibits will be (in order):

1st Quarterly Exhibit:  Lead-up to the Spanish American War Jan-March (completed).   

2nd Quarterly Exhibit:  Preparing for War - April-June.   (completed) 

3rd Quarterly Exhibit: "Summer of '98 - Cuba" - July-September (this exhibit was officially opened on July 1st).  This is the current exhibit on display in the Rough Riders History Showcase.  A picture of that display is shown above. For this exhibit we have four sub-themes or vignettes that represent:

  • The SS Yucatan Transports the Rough Riders to Cuba and the Invasion
  • The Battle of Las Guasimas, June 24th, 1898
  • The main battle on San Juan Heights, July 1st, 1898.
  • The siege and naval battle at Santiago, July 3rd, 1898
