We rented a car and took a side trip to the Hyde Park region, in particular to Springwood, the home Sarah Roosevelt . . . the mother of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The place where he was born, grew up, married, lived, and, was buried there in the rose garden after he died in Georgia.
Lunch for the day at the Culinary Institute of America. What a place! Formerly a Jesuit school. Beautiful view of the Hudson from the front.
The last of the guilded age . . . the home of "an unassuming philanthropist" Frederick Vanderbilt sits on millionaire row along the Hudson in Hyde Park. Both the FDR estate and the Vanderbilt Mansion are part of the National Park Service. Frederick was one of the eight grandchildren of Cornelius Vanderbilt fortune who died in 1877 with an estate of $100 million.
