Springwood, the Hyde Park estate where FDR was born in 1882 and lived his entire life, overlooks the Hudson River from a wooded bluff; Roosevelt is buried in the rose garden alongside Eleanor, who is commemorated at her Val-Kill cottage nearby — the only national historic site dedicated to a first lady. The estate also houses the first presidential library, which Roosevelt himself designed and dedicated in 1941.
