View of the FDR Library/Museum
A gorgeous day..sunny, breezy, cool. Did my driveway walk and gave a mini-tour to man working on a restoration project at Bellefield which has a formal walled garden designed by landscape gardener Beatrix Farrand. I plan to visit as the garden is adjacent to the Roosevelt property.
The Roosevelt property is still a working farm. Numerous fields of hay.
Met another volunteer, Mary Ellen, and backed up her tour. She is a retired history professor at one of the SUNY universities. Very much an FDR fan, so we hit it off right away. Very nice to meet her.
2d tour was with Victor, a ranger, who has been doing this since 1988. A treasure trove of knowledge.
Made my way out the secret exit and got a brighter shot of FDR’s office. It was in this office that he and Churchill made plans for the Manhattan Project, the development of the Atomic Bomb.
I talked to friends, Dick and Linda, who live in Rhinebeck and plan to see them this weekend.
Another tour with Victor. He is incredible in his knowledge, shows great respect for this historic site, and tells me things I did not know. I could follow him on and on. And he is a gentleman, old school.
At the entrance to Springwood is the American flag and the Presidential flag used from 1916 to 1945.
Sitting outside on a bench, enjoying the sun, breeze and beauty of this site.
When I start looking at real estate,come bring me home!
