The life and times are thoroughly presented here. The National Park Service employees and volunteers are knowledgeable, friendly and professional.
-
Excellent trove of history, facts & artifacts. Excellent addition to FDR library & Val-Kill - the Eleanor Roosevelt Cottage.

To me, this is one of those "must visit" attractions whenever you are in Hudson Valley area. Especially if you like history, then this is it for you. See the movie "Hyde Park On Hudson" with Bill Murray so you will have more ideas! I have been here several times over the years simply because everytime someone visits me (including some from overseas) I always take them here. The setting of the ground itself is also nice and worth touring. It is never crowded, plenty of parking, easy in and out. I sometimes take rt 9-G detour for a different scenery. Vanderbilt mansion is nearby.

We were visiting Fishkill, NY and we were told that Hyde Park was about 1/2 hour away. Our flight at JFK wasn't until 6:00, so we decided to take a detour to see the home and library/ museum of FDR, the only President to have served 4 terms in office.There's different packages you can get, but you can only take a guided tour of the inside of the house. The museum can be done independently, and at your own leisure.The tour of the house took about an hour, and then you were allowed to roam the grounds. FDR and Eleanor are buried to the right of the house (or left of the museum). Don't miss it as you walk back to the museum.If you're pressed for time, I would say take the tour, and skip the museum for next time. We took the 12:30 tour, and saw about 40% of the museum. We left at 2:30 and arrived at JFK with time to top off our tank, and take the AirTrain.

Our party of four (two adults, two young adult boys) really enjoyed looking at the house and hearing about FDR, but the two are rather separate. You stand around and listen about FDR, then you look at the rooms on your own; I felt like we could have done all of the speaking part of the tour without ever going to the house - meaning, the talk wasn't much about the house. That being said, the home was very nice, it felt like you were entering someone's home, not like a museum.

really fun to see, historic. The only thing was there wasn't a cap on tour size so a little time was spent with the guide/ranger and some time on our own.
-
A nice visit through national and NY political history with one of our most famous presidents. It is a good historic visit.
-
I loved the history of this great president and his accomplished wife. Too bad I had a self important guide who thought he was the star.
-
Get a tour and re-learn all that you forgot about the King and Queen's visit. Churchill and FDR. Mrs. Delano and her peculiarities. Eleanor's place in the family home. FDR's bird, nautical, and cartoon collections. It's such a treat!

The "mansion" was more of a large home. Unfortunately, the entry and part of the downstairs was kept in such darkness that we had trouble seeing anything. We visited in the height of autumn, so the grounds were spectacular as were the vistas (although it's hard to see the Hudson River for all the trees).
