Teddy Roosevelt’s Oregon Roadshow
 The Rough Rider Returns! May 13-18
“Teddy Roosevelt’s Oregon Roadshow,” a live performance by historical impersonator Joe Wiegand, will return to Oregon for a six-day tour of schools, museums, and historical societies across Oregon.
Sponsored by Wells Fargo, the tour will include stops in Newport, Baker City, Philomath, Reedsport, Coos Bay, Pendleton, Astoria, The Dalles and Portland, among other cities.
In 2012, Teddy entertained and educated Oregonians of all ages in his premiere tour of the state. Wiegand traveled more than 1,000 miles and made presentations in 12 cities, from Portland to Prineville. Wiegand has been bringing T.R. to life for years with his unparalleled grasp of history and uncanny resemblance to the 26th president. His depth of knowledge about the personal anecdotes in Roosevelt’s life make his audiences feel they are truly in the presence of the former U.S. president and adventurer.
