You must visit FDR's homestead. Not only is it situated on a beautiful ridge overlooking a river valley, it's interesting too. Take a stroll down the famous road from the house to the main street that FDR attempted to walk everyday after being struck with Polio. Hyde Park is also home to various homes of other members in the FDR family.
