Hyde Park - F D Roosevelt & Eleanor D Roosevelt.

This visit to Eleanor's retreat and FD's family home and library was a great lesson in American history, Eleanor's house was quite small but the guide brought the place alive and especially when he described her Human Rights work which she devoted herself to after FD's death - definitely must find out more about her - she would have been such an interesting person to have known.

Similarly the work that FD did after being elected President - after Hoover in 1933 was amazing - some contrasts with toady's economic problems - but far far more depressed economically with millions out of work in the 30's.

The car he drove was in the basement, which had been adapted due to the effects of his polio.

In the museum building and his old house were some amazing items of memorabilia - too many to list off.
