Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site
Park Information
“The greatest thing I have learned is how good it is to come home again,” Eleanor Roosevelt once told a friend.
This simple statement expresses her love for the modest house near the Hudson River she called Val-Kill, the only home that was ever hers.
The only National Historic Site dedicated to a First Lady, Val-Kill welcomes the visitor as Mrs. Roosevelt welcomed her many guests.
Visitors may tour Mrs. Roosevelt’s Val-Kill Cottage and enjoy the lovely gardens and grounds on the site.
