Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site

It's an awesome tour the rangers are really informative. The sites are great and the movie is really good at the start. Great place to see great information on a great woman.

Definitely take the tour and don't miss the movie that precedes it.

When visiting here it feels just like you are walking through Eleanor's home as if she just stepped out of the house for a few minutes. A beautiful piece of our local history.

I got to know so much about this phenomenal human, outstanding role model and a champion with so many great accomplishments compressed into one lifetime

I absolutely love this place. So serene and peaceful . She was quite a lady.

Val-Kill, the only national park site dedicated to a First Lady , was the retreat of Junior League volunteer and UN Delegate, Eleanor Roosevelt.

Gorgeous, easy forest hiking trails . Family friendly .

The first lady was one of the most influential women of the 20th century. Her home, Val-Kill, is the only national park site dedicated to a president's wife. Read more

This is very different than the Roosevelt mansion on Rt. 9. In order to get a more complete understanding of Franklin & Eleanor, you need to tour both locations.

Val-Kill gives you an opportunity to get to know Elenor without Franklin

If you do the rail trail bring bug repellant . The Mosquitos are terrible, but the walk is nice
