If you're in the town of Hyde Park to visit the
home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, make a side trip to Eleanor Roosevelt's
Val-kill. It is the only National Historic Site dedicated to a First Lady.

This was the only home Mrs. Roosevelt ever owned.

The swimming pool where British Prime Minister Winston Churchill supposedly cannon-balled into during an exceptionally warm visit during World War II.


The Stone Cottage



Mrs. Roosevelt founded Val-kill Industries with two women friends. The factory made furniture, pewter and homespun cloths.

The gift shop sells Fair Trade goods. Mrs. Roosevelt would be proud.
