overview : The Franklin D. Roosevelt Library is the first of the presidential libraries. It was conceived and built under President Roosevelt's direction during 1939-40 on 16 acres of land in Hyde Park, New York, donated by the President and his mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt. The library resulted from the President's decision that a separate facility was needed to house the vast quantity of historical papers, books, and memorabilia he had accumulated during a lifetime of public service and private collecting.
hours (subject to change) : Museum hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily November through April; and then from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. May through October. We are closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
