NPS Stop 29-Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site: https://www.nps.gov/hofr/index.htm

Franklin D. Roosevelt was born in this house and continued to spend a fair amount of time here. He loved this home and continuously made improvements to it. It was a place to rest, relax, and reflect on personal and political issues.


NPS Stop 30-Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site: https://www.nps.gov/vama/index.htm

The Vanderbilt Mansion reminded us of the mansions in Rhode Island only smaller. The Vanderbilts fortune was made with the railroads and shipping and they owned many properties. It is hard for Cindy to imagine what life would have been like for the very wealthy.

Eleanor Roosevelt was a very interesting woman. She was the mother of six, supported her husband, Franklin, in his four terms as President and created a model for getting folks back to work after the war. She had many interests and was a very strong woman who inspired others.
