Historic site features the home and estate of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Springwood, and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, the only Presidential Library used by a sitting president. It was conceived and built under President Roosevelt's direction and opened to the public in 1941.The Library's mission is to foster research and education on the life and times of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, and their continuing impact on contemporary life. Our work is carried out by four major areas: Archives, Museum, Education and Public Programs.
I have been on the tour of Springwood many times but not at the holidays. The tour was really interesting of birthplace of FDR and the home of his mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt. The house was supposed to be decorated for the holidays but only a Christmas tree in the library and the dining room set for dinner were the only holiday decorations in the house. The mansion will be going through a full renovation in April and then will be closed for a year so tour it now! The park ranger gave us an informative tour of the family, when the house was built and the additions added on, how the family grew here and the role the house played in the history of the United States especially in World War II. FDR continued to visit here after he became President and used it as his summer White House. Still it was his mother's home and Sara's influences are all over the house. Unlike other mansions, you could tell this was someone's home that was used at all times of the year. You can really see the family influences all over the house as if someone was still living here. It is a great tour and take time to visit the museum and walk through all the exhibits. It really does take two or three days to tour the house.

Whether you know Albany well or not, this place should be your 1st stop to get info on city attractions & happenings. The woman who helped us had a wealth of knowledge on what to do, where to park at different attractions, & some history of the city. If you're a fan of the Hamilton musical, the Schulyers are a big part of this city with a special exhibit running at the Albany Institute of History & Art. Also their mansion is where Alexander married Elizabeth. Albany has colorful murals & dog sculptures at various spots around the city so the staffer gave us maps pertaining to them if we wanted to seek them out. The dog sculptures are now indoors for the winter so we only saw 2 but it would be fun to see these whimsical creations around the city in the spring. The visitor center itself has artwork displayed & a historical exhibit.
