A peaceful moment for you today

Eleanor Roosevelt’s home, Val Kill at Hyde Park, NY was a cottage that she and FDR built several years into their marriage. Up until that point, they had lived in his childhood home with his mother. Eleanor lived in the cottage after FDR’s death.

1. Thank you for posting this photograph.

Hyde Park is a wonderful and worthwhile place to visit. We enjoyed the Vanderbilt house (which accepted my husband’s National Park Service pass as payment for the entrance fee) and the Roosevelt home. However, the highlight was Val Kill. It’s a cozy, welcoming cottage but reaches a new level when you understand the world leaders who visited Eleanor there. Our guide told us JFK and Churchill and others walked the same hallway where we stood. It’s a beautiful location, to top it off. A great memory to start the day.

It is beautiful like you said and the inside is very cozy.

10. I was moved when the guide referred to JFK and Churchill

but then I realized “Wait, I’m standing in Eleanor Roosevelt’s living room” and that just biew me away. Love her so much. I hope future generations understand her contributions to our country.
