Plan Your Visit

Hyde Park may be a small town, but there is so much to do during a visit to the homes of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. With three national parks and the nation's first presidential library and museum, it will take more than a single day to see everything. To help you have a great experience, we offer the resources on this page. A little trip planning can ensure that your only surprises are happy ones.
