Historical: Blast from the Past – Home of FDR in Hyde Park, New York
Posted on 11.24.09 by admin @ 5:00 pm


Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt in Hyde Park, New York, ca Summer 2002

I just found these in my archives. Back in August of 2002, we did a road trip to the Berkshires and Upstate New York just to see the home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Hyde Park.

Here are some pictures from that trip –

For more information about this national historic site, please visit the website here!


The visit was not complete without also visiting Eleanor Roosevelt’s house … apparently they lived separately.

And of course a visit to the Culinary Institute of America for lunch … but we didn’t have any reservations so we couldn’t get in (apparently you have to reserve months in advance – if you show up without, you just have to hope that a reservation is cancelled). We couldn’t wait so … we went instead to the famous Eveready Diner. It was a great substitute and experience in itself.

The diner is not to be missed.


Stumble it!
