There is so much to see here. The first year I came, I stayed over 5 hours. My dear friend, Windy, was very patient.
So let me share some highlights..a drop in the bucket..
For me the most touching item in the permanent collection is FDR’s chair that he used in the White House. The worn, threadbare arms.
The desk from the White House
And collection of items on the Presidential desk.
I love these personal items.
A Scottish and West Highland Terrier.
“Snooty Love Dogs”
Under the “Back” is FDR cigarette case for his Camels
The pigs..a favorite
The funeral video and Navy Hymn.
The D-Day Prayer
The Presidential Study. Several Fireside Chats were delivered from this study.
Note the attached ashtray. FDR’s wheelchair was a kitchen chair, legs removed, with bicycle wheels
