I’m not sure why this site hasn’t been promoted to National Historical Park, since it is a presidential birthplace, childhood home, presidential home, library, and gravesite. There’s also the walled garden at Bellefield, the neighboring Eleanor Roosevelt site, and the neighboring Vanderbilt site.

These wonderful estates are a fine introduction to the historic Hudson River Valley. I enjoyed the Clinton written & narrated film in the museum, and thought $10 for the library worth it. Your park pass includes the house tour, and there’s even a cafe serving hot dogs (see ’Hyde Park on the Hudson’ with Bill Murray). I can’t complain about the three top notch tours today or anything else here. Simply superb!
