Tips from locals
It's an hour drive away up the Hudson but definitely worth making the trip if you're a history buff. You could spend hours here but can combine with a tour of the Vanderbilt Mansion to make a full day of it.
(36-minute drive) Celebrate the 32nd President of the United States and his remarkable First Lady at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Library and Museum, located in Hyde Park in Dutchess County. Trace the stories of Franklin and Eleanor through interactive displays spanning their youth, marriage, the Great Depression, and WWII. Highlights at the museum include Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor speech, a fireside chats microphone, and the apparatus he used for mobility. The crowning jewel is his Oval Office desk, displaying mementos from his final term. Don't miss a tour of his birthplace and home, Springwood, then stroll through a serene rose garden to the final resting place of these 20th-century giants.
