Franklin D. Roosevelt Thirty-Second President

Franklin D. Roosevelt Grave (Mrs. Roosevelt Share The Same Marker)

This was my first trip to New York after my aunt moved out there and I wanted to go and see Hyde Park while I was there seeing her. After getting lost due to a bridge being misnamed, we finally made it to Hyde Park. While I was there they were redoing some of the rooms upstairs in the house, but they had pictures of what the rooms looked liked. After the tour of the house, when you exit there is a very nice view of the area. President and Mrs. Roosevelt are buried in the rose garden. The marker only list their names and years of birth.
