Come and discover the fabulous photo exhibit at FDR's Presidential Library. You will not be disappointed. It's like looking at any American  family's photo album.........however, in this case it's the Roosevelt family!

"THE ROOSEVELTS:
PUBLIC FIGURES, PRIVATE LIVES"
From May 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013—while our permanent exhibit galleries are closed for the final stage of the Library’s renovation—the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum is presenting the largest photography exhibition ever assembled on the lives and public careers of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. "The Roosevelts: Public Figures, Private Lives," is a new and very different kind of exhibit that takes visitors on an immersive photographic and film journey through the lives and times of the Roosevelts. The exhibition features nearly one thousand images that vividly depict both their public and private lives.
These photographs include famous and familiar images, many reproduced in dramatically large formats. But the exhibit also presents visitors with new visual perspectives on the Roosevelts through large numbers of unique and rarely-seen personal photographs from the unparalleled photographic collections at the Roosevelt Library. Shot by family members, friends, government officials, and other insiders, these images offer fascinating views into the private lives of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and their family and political associates. These include childhood images, candid snapshots of family life and trips, humorous moments, behind-the-scenes views of famous figures, and unusual perspectives on historic meetings and events.
Special audiovisual programs accompany the photographs and include projections of little-known film shot by Roosevelt family and friends that depict their more unscripted moments. The highlight of the exhibit is a multimedia presentation featuring original audio recordings of Eleanor Roosevelt speaking about her family life.

Going to a farmer's market in the Hudson Valley

The farmer's markets throughout the Hudson Valley are just fabulous! You can go to a different one every week or just frequent your favorite one. Hyde Park's farmers market is held every Saturday morning in the  town hall's parking lot, rain or shine from 9am to 2pm from June to the end of October.

 The fruits and vegetables, you can tell were just picked that morning.....how much fresher can it get? !If you're lucky, the farmer may give you a sample of some of his produce before you decide what to purchase.

 You'll have to try some farm-fresh eggs, the yolks are such a brilliant yellow, they are truly amazing and not to be missed.

And don't forget about the local honey and maple syrup vendor. There is nothing healthier for you then eating the local honey. And wait till you taste and savor locally produced maple syrup, it is so light to the taste and not overly sweet, you'll be wondering how you have survived all these years with the store bought stuff.

Going to the local markets lets you eat fresher and healthier foods. You'll also will have the chance to talk with the farmers, as you stand at their vendor table, you'll be able to ask questions about their crops and other products.They'll share with you their farming tales but all you really need to do is study their hands, it will tell you everything you'll need to know about being a farmer.
