ROOSEVELT MOTEL
When Theodore Roosevelt spoke in Springfield for the election of 1908, he
stayed at the Osborne family's bungalow right here in Chapelsnap. Three
generations later, that bungalow is now part of the Roosevelt motel, run
by the last surviving Osborne, Chapelsnaper Garrison Osborne (not to be
confused with the Chapelsnap Mayor, also named Garrison.)
