At the Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, we’ll enjoy a guided a tour of “Springwood,” the lifelong home of America’s only 4-term President (1880-1945) complete with personal furnishings and artifacts. Immediately following this tour, we will walk next door to the FDR Library and Museum which houses a vast quantity of Eleanor and Franklin’s historical papers, books, and memorabilia. The museum contains many interactive exhibits including touch screen experiences at the Oval Office desk and FDR’s Ford Phaeton. New galleries feature two immersive Fireside Chat environments. Next, enjoy a group lunch at a nearby restaurant. Following lunch, we’ll tour Val-Kill, Eleanor Roosevelt’s personal cottage – her retreat while her husband was alive, and her permanent home after his death. The Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site consists of 180 acres approximately two miles east of Springwood, the Roosevelt family home.
