First stop – Hyde Park. Great little town on the Hudson. Before I stopped to see Franklin visited one of my favorite Dollar Tree stores in the strip mall before Franklin’s place. Then I picked up some tasty Chinese takeout for a picnic on Springwood’s grounds.

After lunch walked the grounds, and enjoyed the lovely spring trees in bloom. Have been here several times so didn’t visit the home. However, if you haven’t, do stop, and also try to visit the other off site homes. Eleanor has a cottage, and Franklin also has a retreat nearby.

Plan ahead to see all. It will take a full day but a remarkable visit back to this incredibly difficult time of the world. 🌍.

Thankfully, we had incredible leadership in Franklin and Eleanor.

The Grounds..

Franklin has always been my favorite president as when I was ill, and didn’t know where my next 💸 would come from, Social Security came through for me.

Thanks, FDR.
