Who was the first US President to visit Campobello?
James Roosevelt was one of the first citizens of the United States to enjoy the island’s large and luxurious hotels, bracing sea breezes, and scenic beauty. He soon bought land and built his own cottage. Franklin visited the island for the first time when he was only a year old. His parents soon began to spend whole summers there.
What did the Roosevelts do in Campobello?
Stationed throughout the cottage, guides answer questions and provide interpretation of the house and its furnishings. The Roosevelts enjoyed hiking, biking, canoeing, and many other outdoor recreations, some of the main reasons that they spent their summers on Campobello. These activities can still be enjoyed in the park today.
Who was the owner of the cottage in Campobello?
The cottage neighbouring James and Sara Roosevelt’s cottage was owned by Mrs. Grace Kuhn, a family friend of the Roosevelts. After Mrs. Kuhn’s passing in 1908, Sara Delano Roosevelt purchased the red summer home as a belated wedding gift for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and their growing family. The young Roosevelt family visited often.
What did the Roosevelts do in the summer?
Sailing was the most important part of the Campobello summer. The Roosevelts enjoyed both day-sailing, often picnicking on nearby islands, and cruising, taking three and four day trips around Passamaquoddy Bay, up to St. Andrews, or along the Maine coast.
