2 reviews for Roosevelt Home and Library
Come visit and find out all the cool things on your own...
But one interesting thing:
Our tour guide was a national park ranger who grew up in the area. His Mother, a 92 year old republican, refuses to admit that her son works here.
Can you imagine?

The library is the more interesting of the two places here, being the first of the Presidential Libaries to be established. It exhibits loads of intersting memorobilia from the Roosevelt years. The house has some personal effects of Roosevelt, but a lot of it reflects his mother's taste. People often remark about how dowdy it seems but one must remember that Franklin's branch of the Roosevelt family were the country bumbkin cousins whereas Eleanor, his fifth cousin, came from the sophisticated New York set. Nonetheless, anyone traveling in the Hudson Valley and having an interest in American history should stop here and at nearby Val Kill.
