5. Visit the Roosevelts at their NYC Home

Explore the lives and legacies of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt at their former New York City home on 65th Street. For a new look at Roosevelt life and how it was shaped by the city, attend a tour at the Roosevelt House at 10:00am or noon or 2:00pm. Designed by Charles A. Platt, the Colonial Revival double townhouse was home to Franklin, Eleanor and Sara Delano Roosevelt from 1908-1941, and was acquired by Hunter College in 1942. Recent renovations by Ennead Architects preserved the building’s interior and added classrooms and an auditorium for public programs. Hear about the Roosevelts’ family lives, civic activities, and governmental positions as they transformed the nation and the world with FDR’s Four Freedoms and Eleanor’s work at the United Nations. While at the house, enjoy the new exhibit on “The New Deal in New York City, 1933-1944.”

Time: Saturday, May 6th at 10 AM, 12 PM and 2 PM
