I've been to Roosevelts in Hyde Park,NY
Kennedy's in Boston and by Carters in Atlanta

Hmmm.... We live a few miles from the Rutherford B Hayes Presidential Library and grounds. It was the first Presidential Library and was started by his family in 1916. It is a wonderful place to walk, take pictures, etc.. RBH, his wife and his horse are buried on the grounds. His house is next to the Library and Museum and can also be toured.

It is not administered by the National Archives, but is on it's own. Roosevelt used this Library as a model for his as did others following him.

This has really been so informative.... I knew BN'rs would have lots to offer.

Sagamore hill. it is very nice. I went there a few times as a school trip I recall...

I've been there on school trips too. It's pretty nice.

drove by or actually inside the house? I know that sounds like a silly question.....but I think that is really cool if they let people visit inside the house!

I've been to the Herbert Hoover home & library in West Branch-it's about 10 miles from where I work. A very nice memorial to a most kind and decent humanitarian.

I've been to the Richard Nixon library in California-very nice, very educational. The only man who was elected vice president twice AND president twice

I've been to the Bill Clinton (yes, BILL CLINTON) library in Little Rock. As you can see by the picture, it looks more like a high-rise mobile home, but it's very nice on the inside. (Which is what he probably said about Madam Lewinsky).

I've been to Ronald Reagan's home in Dixon, IL, Lincoln's home and tomb in Springfield, and Harry Truman's home & library in Independence, MO.

My next goal is to see the Reagan library in Simi Valley, CA.
Someday.

Inside the house. It's run by the National Park Service, the house is a National Historic Site.
