Visiter Center for Rooseveldt Cottage
Franklin D. Roosevelt spent many enjoyable vacations at his summer
home on Campobello Island, in New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy. His
magnificent 34-room residence is today the centerpiece of
Roosevelt-Campobello International Park, preserved as a memorial and
as a symbol of the close friendship between Canada and the United
States. Owned, funded, staffed, and administered by the peoples of
both Canada and the United States, Roosevelt Campobello International
Park is enjoyed by tens of thousands of visitors each year.
Visitors are welcomed to the Park in the Edmund S. Muskie Visitor
Center, where panels, displays, and a short video interpret the
Roosevelt story from the time Franklin Roosevelt and his parents first
visited Campobello through his battle with polio, his presidency, and
the establishment of the Park. Guides respond to informational
requests and sell a limited number of souvenirs.
