FDR served three terms as president and instituted lasting progressive programs; he also made the decision to drop the A-bomb on Japan to end WWII. A tour of his home, relatively modest considering his family wealth, is interesting, but it can be unpleasantly crowded in summer.
In this case, better to focus on the excellent museum, built around FDR's own library, where he recorded his groundbreaking radio program of 'fireside chats.' You can also visit Val-Kill , Eleanor Roosevelt's cottage hideaway.
