FDR probably had better views of the Hudson River. Now, all you can see of it is a small bit through the trees.

Bell

Not sure where this bell came from. FDR's family was in the shipping trade, and there are lots of Asian pieces throughout the house.

This is as close as we got to Val-Kill (Eleanor Roosevelt's home) and Top Cottage (FDR's retreat). Val-Kill is only open at the weekend, and Top Cottage is closed indefinitely -- both casualties of 2013 sequestration budget cuts.
