Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library & Museum
“All that is within me cries out to go back to my home on the Hudson River.”- FDR
This quote captures FDR’s connection to Springwood, the estate that he loved and the place he considered home. The first US Presidential Library was started by FDR here. Visit the home of FDR and Presidential Library & Museum to learn about the only President elected to four terms.
Staatsburgh State Historic Site
Staatsburgh State Historic Site was the elegant country home of Ogden Mills and his wife Ruth Livingston Mills. Sitting atop a grassy hill overlooking the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains, their house is a fine example of a great estate built by America’s financial and industrial leaders during the Gilded Age. In the 1890s, Mr. and Mrs. Mills commissioned the prestigious New York City architectural firm of McKim Mead and White to remodel and enlarge their home. A year later, the house had been transformed from a 25-room Greek Revival style home into a Beaux-Arts mansion of 65 rooms and 14 bathrooms.
