HSDC Journeys to the Past
The Hudson Valley in Autumn Splendor
To celebrate the 75th Anniversay of the New Deal, we will travel to Hyde Park, New York with an historian on board to give an overview of those years as the country recovered from the Depression. Upon arrival at Hyde Park, we will have lunch at the Visitors Center at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum with Jeffrey Urbin, Education Specialist at the FDR Library. Following lunch, we will tour the nation's first Presidential Library and "Springwood," the 35 room home of the Roosevelt Family.
Next we board the bus for a drive along the Hudson River to the Doubletree Hotel in Tarrytown where we will spend the night. Dinner that evening will be at the Sunset Cove Restaurant with a great view of the lighted Tappan Zee Bridge at night.
The next morning we will visit famed Kykuit, the Rockefeller Family estate. Kykuit is a distinctive home with art galleries and gardens that you will never forget. Lunch will be at the Mint Cafe on the grounds. Our final stop will be Sleepy Hollow, charming Sunnyside home of the 19th Century author Washington Irving. Irving was the pre-eminent writer of his day. Remember "The Headless Horseman" and "Rip Van Winkle?"
