There's no place like home, especially in Hyde Park. Historic homes open for tours include Eleanor Roosevelt's retreat,
Val-Kill, and
Franklin D. Roosevelt's estate—the lifelong home of our nation's only four-term President. You can also take a shuttle up to Top Cottage, and enjoy the view from the porch where FDR entertained world leaders.
The Roosevelts weren't the only ones living the good life in Hyde Park. Experience the Gilded Age with a tour of the
Vanderbilt Mansion. The estate and Italian Gardens there have the kind of Hudson River views you can only afford on a railroad tycoon's paycheck. You can take home a bit of the past, too.
Hyde Park Antique Center features 70 dealers of
antiques, including fine and country collectibles.
Enjoy world-class cuisine at one of the
Culinary Institute of America's five award-winning restaurants, ranging from the elegant Escoffier to the casual Apple Pie Bakery Café. Nothing says home like good food and apple pie.
