Pine Knot is a historic cabin located 14 miles (23 km) south of Charlottesville, Virginia in Albemarle County, Virginia. The cabin was owned and occupied by the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt and his wife Edith Kermit Roosevelt, and used by Roosevelt and the first lady while he was president, although no official business took place there.[3] In 1905, Edith Roosevelt spent $280 to purchase the fifteen-acre property with its rustic worker's cabin, and she bought an additional seventy-five acres in 1911. The cabin is owned by the Edith and Theodore Roosevelt Pine Knot Foundation and is open for visits by appointment.[4]
