Cultural Landscape Report for Springwood Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site. Volume II: Treatment

摘要

The Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, located in the Hudson Valley town of Hyde Park eighty miles north of New York City, preserves the lifelong home of the thirty-second President of the United States who served the country through the Great Depression and World War II. The site, administered as part of Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites, preserves 696 acres of the former Roosevelt family estate that extended east from the banks of the Hudson River for nearly two miles. The core of the national historic site, known as Springwood, encompasses the main Roosevelt home located on the Albany Post Road (US 9) and its adjoining presidential gravesite, gardens, fields. Occupying one of these fields is the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, separately administered by the National Archives and Records Administration, but historically part of the Roosevelt estate.
