Have You Been To FDR’s Cousin’s House in Rhinebeck, NY?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, also referred to as FDR, was the 32nd president of the United States.
FDR was known for being elected into office four times and leading the US through the Great Depression and World War II.
Growing up, FDR lived in the Hudson Valley with his parents. He attended school in Massachusetts and ultimately, Harvard University. FDR met Eleanor Roosevelt while in college, and even though they were distant cousins, they still got married.
Guests can visit the home of FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt in Hyde Park, NY.
I have been to both locations but really enjoyed Eleanor's estate.
The home of FDR is a National Historic Site. Tours of FDR's home are open daily to the public. These beautiful grounds showcase the beauty of the grounds, the gardens and the home where the Roosevelts spent time.
Two miles away, you will find the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site at Val-Kill. This property was so calm, peaceful and full of greenery during the summer months.
I enjoyed seeing her living room, sleeping porch and office where her chair was set higher than the guest's spot during meetings. She was known as the "First Lady of the World" and for her caring and charitable contributions.
