Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site preserves the Stone Cottage at Val-Kill, the home of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and its surrounding property of 181acre. It is located approximately two miles east of Springwood, the Roosevelt family estate, in Hyde Park, New York.
The only residence Eleanor personally owned, it was the site of Val-Kill Industries and would be Eleanor's home after the death of her husband, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1945. Converted into rental units and later sold to developers after Eleanor's death in 1962, it was saved through a public campaign and declared a Historic Site in 1977. It is now managed by the National Park Service, with partnerships with two private non-profit organizations who assist with fundraising, development and restoration projects.
