The Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute is pleased to invite applications to an NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshop for School Teachers. Two sessions will be offered: July 13-18 and July 20-25. Undertaken from the vantage point of FDR’s beloved Hyde Park, New York, in the picturesque Hudson River Valley, this Workshop will offer teachers a unique perspective on Roosevelt’s response to the Great Depression and World War II, with a special emphasis on how FDR’s relationship to his home community influenced his thinking about national policy and America’s role in the world. Among the sites that will be incorporated in the workshop are: FDR’s home, Springwood, along with Top Cottage, FDR’s hilltop retreat; Val Kill, the home of Eleanor Roosevelt; and of course the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum—designed and conceived by FDR himself as our nation’s first Presidential Library. We invite you to join us as we examine FDR’s response to the world crisis and the transformative nature of his leadership during these critical years.
