In Transit Blog: A New Restaurant for Campobello

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 22 Mei 2014 | 17.36

The Roosevelt Campobello International Park is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a new restaurant, the debut of an online reservation system for its popular "Tea with Eleanor" history series, and, later in the summer, a preview of Ken Burns's coming documentary "The Roosevelts," which examines the life of Franklin D., Eleanor and Theodore Roosevelt.

In 1964, the Roosevelt heirs deeded the 2,800 acres overlooking the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, Canada, to the United States and Canadian governments to preserve the 34-room Roosevelt Cottage and the grounds of the family's summer retreat.

At the cottage, visitors can view President Roosevelt's office and bedroom, the First Lady's writing room, living and dining rooms, the kitchen and nursery.

On Saturday, the Fireside Restaurant, named after F.D.R.'s fireside chats, opens as the park's first on-site restaurant, housed in a restored building that was part of the family compound. It will serve lunch daily and dinner on Friday and Saturday.

At "Tea with Eleanor," tea and homemade cookies are served while guides share insight into Eleanor Roosevelt's life on the island and narrate family artifacts and photographs. This year the seating doubles to accommodate 40 guests twice a day in the parlor of Wells-Shober Cottage.

Tickets are free on a first-come first-served basis, but can now be reserved in advance for $12. The fee includes a "Cookies for Eleanor" recipe book, a collection of the family's favorite cookie recipes.

On the park's official anniversary weekend of Aug. 7 through 10, Campobello will show a preview of "The Roosevelts." The seven-part documentary premieres on PBS on Sept. 14.

Although the park grounds are open year-round, the buildings are accessible only during the tourist season, which begins on the Saturday before Memorial Day and ends on Columbus Day. Admission is free.
