Roosevelt Tablet, in the North Creek Dept Museum, northwest of the town of Minerva, is a historical marker designating the spot where Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States. Vice President Roosevelt had been hiking up Mt. Marcy and was eating lunch when a messenger delivered the news that President McKinley, who'd been shot in an assassination attempt, had gotten worse. As Roosevelt and his party descended, they arrived at this spot - Roosevelt Tablet - when they learned McKinley had died.
