And just do the rounds, Mount Vernon, Monticello, maybe throw in a couple of the early tycoons too. <br /><br />One of my favorite places is The Vanderbilt Manor in Hyde Park, New York. I grew up just a few towns away and loved going there and to FDR's house as well - which was right down the street from the Vanderbilts.HeatherLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05408729050734990343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-87982684386795063402015-01-01T23:07:40.919-05:002015-01-01T23:07:40.919-05:00Happy New Year!Happy New Year!The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-11884031212356227982015-01-01T23:07:30.037-05:002015-01-01T23:07:30.037-05:00Thanks, Romance Reader.
