Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) was an activist First Lady (1933-1945), tirelessly promoting husband Franklin's New Deal agenda despite strains in their marriage. After FDR's death, she remained an outspoken advocate of liberal causes, especially civil rights, and an influential voice in the Democratic Party. She had a syndicated newspaper column, "My Day." Val-Kill Cottage was her personal retreat at the family estate in Hyde Park. After Franklin's death, she made it her principal residence. It is the only National Park Service site dedicated to a First Lady. Two items.
