My Visit With FDR

National Historic Site, FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt, Val-Kill, a fascinating tour, beautiful country scenic views.  Visit this place if you can.  Open all year, closes for major holidays.  Well worth the trip.  Rangers are very friendly and knowledgeable.  I spent four days there.

 Stayed at a B & B called "Inn The Woods". In Hyde Park.

Gosh, this brought back memories of my visits there in the past. I'm so glad you enjoyed. This is a beautiful part of New York State, for sure.

Kenneth, just as I thought.  You're a bit too young for the real FDR.  Very nice pictures.  Looks like a good time!

Michael, thanks for the nice comments.  FYI, I was a wee lad of 2 when FDR died.  We did have a grand time.

Ed;  you really ought to go, being so close, you will have a great time seeing history.
