This is a really nice historical place. Very interesting and the grounds are great. There is a really nice walking path that is in the back of the building that runs to the Vanderbilt grounds in hyde Park. It's a great trail, but of course takes awhile to walk it.. Drops you at the lower south end of the grounds. You can kill two birds and view the Vanderbilt buildings as well.

Absolutely fantastic! In addition to the tour of the house ensure you have enough time to roam the grounds and to enjoy all aspects of the experience. Give yourself a good 2-3 hours to enjoy the presidential library. Do not miss the basement!

My photos are from both the rose garden and the garden to the left of the visitors center building (when you are looking at the visitors center from the front main entrance).

The only presidential library where a president was born, raised, lived, and worked. Tremendously well done, and very informative. Make sure you take a house tour, this is a must.

Pro Tip: When visiting the Presidential Library, make sure you head downstairs to the storage room to see all the things that can't fit upstairs. FDR's hand-controlled 1936 Ford Phaeton is on display (as you've probably seen him drive in the movie Hyde Park and other historical films).

Pro Tip 2: Hyde Park Brewery is right across the street from the compound. Though they often get Teddy and Franklin confused (remember, the two families were not friends), it is a great way to snack up and enjoy some beers.

Informative history in the museum/library. You can also tour FDR's house and see the grave/rose-garden where he and Eleanor now reside. The house is very well intact. National Parks Service staffs here are, as I've found elsewhere in the USA, very nice and helpful. Good-looking beer brewery just down the street from this place, too.

Beautiful grounds. My husband and some of my family went on the tour while I kept my young, raucous boys outside. The photos my husband took of the tour were beautiful, and the library and grounds were more than enough to keep the boys and me entertained. Well worth the trip. Would love to return.

Ranger led tour of the Springwood mansion are self guided following a brief set-up by the ranger, which is a nice change of pace from more traditional tours. The grounds are nice to walk, but spend most of your time in the museum/library, it has some great artifacts. Don't forget to go down to the basement of the museum to see FDR'S model ship collection, customized car, and White House desk. Even if you don't like FDR's politics you can gain some appreciation for the man.

The Junior Ranger program can be tricky but with the tour of the home it is very accessible for kids. Ask for a booklet at the visitor center when you arrive.

Really enjoyed the tour of FDR's house (recommend arriving early or booking in advance). The tour guide was interesting and helpful and very nice, and the inside is just beautiful. So many amazing pieces of furniture and paintings and so many details about FDR's life and how he lived. You can see where he was born and his room as an adult (and president). You can also explore the grounds which include a stable where he used to keep his horses and the garden where he and Eleanor are buried. There's also his presidential library which has a museum about his presidency, and it's very well done. Really enjoyed that. Lots of good information, with little mini videos to supplement.

A fascinating point of contact with legendary figures, as both FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt were. There are many wonderful exhibits here, almost all of which make these two huge figures of modern American history more accessible and more human. Well focused exhibits that shed light and help you to enter imaginatively into their world. National Parks staff are extremely knowledgeable and very good presenters. A visit to the Hudson valley without coming here would be to miss a truly top-rate opportunity. I saw quite a number of kids on the tours, and I think this is something you could easily do with the whole family.

Go to the presidential library. Very neat. Did not go inside the house. The gardens are nice too.

I'm a big history buff, and having a great historical site like this not too far from home is really neat. The tour of the house is fun because it's interesting to see how people lived in the past. For instance, there's an "ice house," where was harvested from the nearby Hudson River and then stored for use in the summer.

There's an actual car that FDR used to drive along with some dog houses, a horse stable and lots of other neat things. One of the most humble spots is his gravesite. It's definitely worth taking a few moments here to reflect.

The FDR National Historic Site is a great place to visit. This site offers tours of FDR's home and self-guided tours of a museum and the grounds which includes the garden where FDR is buried. The museum goes through FDR's presidency and also has special exhibits. When I recently went, there is a special exhibit on the Japanese Internment Camps in World War II that goes through the end of 2017. This site also has wonderful trails around the property that lead to the river as well as to Eleanor's homestead off of Rt 9G.

ALL of the Presidential Libraries, regardless of your political affiliation, are well worth the time and travel it takes to visit them. We have seen all the current libraries and find them to be remarkable places to visit and learn.
