Home of FDR National Historic Site & Presidential Library
Springwood / FDR Presidential Library and Museum
The birthplace and burial site of Franklin D. Roosevelt. His home, America's first presidential library and the rose garden burial ground are all in one estate.
Springwood, the Hyde Park estate, is where Franklin D. Roosevelt was born and lived for most of his life. The National Park Service guides visitors through the house, where the study and bedrooms are kept as they were. In the rose garden lie the graves of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Next door, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum is the first presidential library in the United States. Its exhibits cover the Great Depression, the New Deal and the Second World War, and the fireside chat set in the study is worth seeing. A combined ticket for the house and museum costs about $25. You can visit Eleanor Roosevelt's home and the Vanderbilt Mansion on the same day.
