Beautiful property with great history. Tour guide was new but very good. Got in on first tour of the day before going over to FDR library.

Such a special place, to be able to walk in Eleanore's footsteps. Tour was free and guided.

We visited on a late Friday afternoon in late June 2025. We arrived right around 5PM so everything had just closed and we missed doing the tour and the exhibits in the visitor center etc. We did see folks leaving from the last tour.

There were about 15 spaces in the parking lot and majority of the spots were filled. The parking lot is a bit of a walk to the visitor center. You have to walk over a bridge to actually get to the property.

There were a couple of outdoor exhibits that we looked at and also read the kiosk signs and walk around the property in general. We were sad we didn't make it in time for the last tour at 4PM. We were delayed from the house tour at Franklin D. Roosevelts House just up the road.

We were able to walk around and take a bunch of pictures. The lighting at the time of day was just getting good. We walked through the gardens and you could see through some of the windows of the houses.

The bathrooms were still open when we visited after the visitor center was closed. It looks like they converted the garage into public restrooms.

I think I heard one of the rangers saying that there is no gift shop here and it is all located at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Historic Site. Luckily for us we had already bought everything we wanted while we were there.

Overall it was a nice property and I wish we had arrived sooner to walk through the visitor center and look at the houses.

Definitely worth a visit during operating hours for the tour, but even worth a visit on days the house isn’t open — for the really great trails! We learned so much and highly recommend others visit to learn more about Eleanor Roosevelt.

Great tour! The ranger was very informative and you could tell she really enjoyed giving tours and imparting knowledge about Eleanor and her life. The website says it is a 30 minute tour but it was much longer, I would say almost an hour. Plus there are exhibits in the visitors center. I would recommend alotting 2 hours to spend here and definitely take the tour!
