Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site

Few figures in American public life have been so closely identified with a particular place as President Franklin D. Roosevelt with his home in Hyde Park, New York. FDR was born here in 1882 and remained closely connected to the place for his entire life. The property, located in the historic Hudson Valley, was home and political headquarters, a haven for spiritual renewal, and, after he was stricken with polio, a place for physical rehabilitation. At Hyde Park, he participated in community life, welcomed dignitaries, and conducted the work of the presidency.
