Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site (Val-Kill) consists of 180-acres approximately two miles east of Springwood, the Hyde Park Roosevelt family home. FDR encouraged Eleanor Roosevelt to develop this property as a place that she could develop some of her ideas for work with winter jobs for rural workers and women. There are two buildings which are adjacent to Fallkill Creek. Stone Cottage, the original cottage which was home to Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook, which they sold back to Eleanor in 1947 and a large two-story stuccoed building that housed Val-Kill Industries and which would become Eleanor's home after Franklin's death. It was the only residence that she personally owned. Image File history File links Red_pog. ... Image File history File links US_Locator_Blank. ... NY redirects here. ...
