Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum

This is the second presidential library I've visited and it was quite an amazing experience. The historical documents and letters especially where very cool to see. The library shows the entire life and presidency of FDR. The exhibits are very detailed and lots of historic pieces are at display! Seeing FDR's desk and car were also really cool!

The FDR Museum was presented beautifully—like a walk through history, highlighting the pivotal changes FDR made to create a better America. The exhibits were informative, engaging, and easy to follow, offering a powerful sense of the era. The home tour was equally impressive. It was air-conditioned and allowed us to see most of the rooms, providing a real sense of how the Roosevelts lived. Our guide did a fantastic job sharing the history, explaining key events, and thoughtfully answering every question. A wonderful experience all around and a must-visit for anyone interested in American history.

The FDR Library and Museum is a wonderful experience. The grounds are incredibly well kept. The exhibits are extremely informative and are complimented by some wonderful real pieces of history. Plan to spend 3 hours here if you really plan on taking it all in. Would highly recommend.

A must-visit for anyone interested in American history or leadership. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum is beautifully curated, immersive, and deeply inspiring. The exhibits bring FDR’s legacy to life—from the New Deal to World War II—using original documents, videos, and interactive displays. You also get a strong sense of Eleanor Roosevelt’s impact, which was a highlight. The grounds are peaceful and scenic, with access to the Roosevelt family home, burial site, and walking paths overlooking the Hudson Valley. It’s the first presidential library in the U.S. and still one of the best. Give yourself at least 3-4 hours to take it all in. Highly recommend for a meaningful and educational experience!

Exceeded our expectations, our tour guide for the house was excellent and full of interesting information. The house is as it was when turned over to the NPS in 1946 and well worth tour The library has so many interesting exhibits and fascinating thing to learn I’m a history buff and discovered many new items Even the cafe is great the food was delicious and service quick and a very friendly staff Highly recommended visiting when you can we spent about 4 hours all together

I thought I know a lot about FDR, the New Deal, the Great Depression and WW II before I visited here. I didn't. After spending 3+ hours walking through the Museum and Library, your start to appreciate how much influence FDR had globally and over the 20th century.

Every time we come to visit family and friends we always stop by this museum every few years or so. So much history housed here and they have the coolest news reels from WWII that I am not able to locate anywhere else. The house and grounds are very well curated and maintained.

$15 separate admission from the Springwood home tour. There is a lot to see here (read especially) so it took longer to get through than planned. Lots of photos, background info. Way more about world war 2 than I thought there would be.
