You made such a beautiful and elegant video. In less than 15 minutes you gave us such an informative and visually appealing tour de luxe of these beautiful historic estates. A&E's iconic America's Castles 90s program couldn't have done much better💖💖💖Bravo and thank you
Wow - this is one of the kindest comments I have ever received! Thank you so much! I loved the tours and had so much fun making this video - I'm so happy you enjoyed it! :)
Having a mild passion for all things WW2, I was delighted by your skillfully presented tour. You have a good eye with the camera and and undulating cadence that makes your commentary very easy to listen to. an excellent job young lady! now give us some more gilded age delights please ;-) Paul in South africa
Thanks so much, Paul! Your comment made my day! My new area is filled with gilded age estates and history and I definitely plan to visit and share more of them in coming videos. Thanks for watching! 😄
We visited both of these magnificent homes in 2019. We also visited Eleanor Roosevelt's home, Val-Kill cottage, that was near by. In all three cases, U.S. Park Service docents were especially knowledgeable and superb in their delivery. While each home is unique in it's own right, you should absolutely visit all three! You will need two days to properly take in these magnificent estates.
Have you ever been to The Little White House in Warm Springs, Georgia? That is where FDR spent most of his time after contracting polio. It is also where he died. His long-time mistress was with him. It is also a National Park.
I recently had to move from this area after living there for most of my life and I'm so terribly home sick. I'm happy I can feel like I'm back again for a moment.
I’m so sorry you’re feeling home sick, I can understand why - it’s a beautiful area. I’m so glad I could give you a taste of home and I hope you’re able to return and visit one day soon! The Vanderbilt grounds and the Staatsburg Historic Site grounds have become one of ours and our dogs favorite places to walk as well - I’m very excited for my first New England fall in these places. Thanks for watching! ♥️
very well explained and presented with good supporting video. I drive by this building regularly but have not gone inside in years and your presentation will remind me to take a look the next time i go by it.
Loved the video. The drape covered furnishings were typical of 19th and 20th century great homes when the occupants would be away during the summer months to cut down on dust and sunlight exposure.
The film is lovely, but the narration was too fast for someone with hearing issues. I had to mute the audio to enjoy. Sadly this is the norm for broadcasting now.
Great video. Your camera work is very good. This makes me want to go see these houses. How close are they together? 10 - 20 minutes away from each other?
Aw thank you so much! 🥰 I highly recommend checking them out - these two are a little less than 10 minutes apart, and there a number of other wonderful estates in the area within a short driving distance like Val-kill, Locust Grove and the Mills Mansion!
It helped a lot of people. My Great Grandparents were from a long line of farmers. They called it the 'old person pension.' The Great Depression was tough on them. However, I do agree that it was not well thought out. Most social safety nets are doomed for failure.

In the mid 70s when we were in Poughkeepsie, NY we went to both of these beautiful historic homes.
How cool! Were there any major differences you noticed between what was in my video vs what you saw?

How amazing! The docents on my tours were all phenomenal as well, I was incredibly impressed. Thanks for watching! :)

FDR also lived in Warm Springs, Georgia. It is a National Park and is called The Little White House. He died there.
Thx for sharing.
Plan to visit NYC in April.
Very informative and interesting! Great video!
Thank you!!!
Nicely done. My favorite president and first lady. I go there often to enjoy the scenery.
Thank you! They are fascinating people and beautiful places - I’m glad you also get to enjoy them! 😊
Fantastic video! Hoping to visit these sites soon!
Thank you so much! I hope you're able to - they are a lot of fun to see in person! :)

The gardens/grounds of Vanderbilt is one of my all-time favorite places to walk around in the summer/fall.
I’m so sorry you’re feeling home sick, I can understand why - it’s a beautiful area. I’m so glad I could give you a taste of home and I hope you’re able to return and visit one day soon!

nicely done
Thank you so much! :)

Thank you so much! Ah that makes sense - thank you for your insight! 😄
Solid tour, thank you.

Subscribed. Great video.
Thank you so much! ☺️
when you get a chance you should check out locust Grove. its Samuel b Morse home. its beautiful too and it has some of his paintings.
That one has been on my list to go see - I'll have to visit it next! Thanks for the recommendation! :)
What about the sacrifice alters?
I'm not familiar - tell me more!

Teddy Roosevelt was Eleanor's uncle NOT Franklin's?? Teddy was FDR's 5th cousin.
That’s correct! My apologies if I misspoke somewhere in this video in regards to their relation.
I wish that Social Security was never thought of.

@JeanetteFaith That's my point exactly. Never, ever depend on the government to take care of you.
