The journey of a public school teacher who loves history
A Day at St.James Episcopal Church Hyde Park, NY
โPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt and his family worshiped here, and throughout his presidency he remained actively involved in the parish as both Vestryman and Senior Warden. His parents and grandparents, and some of his children and other relatives, are buried here.
Eleanor Rooseveltโs 1962 funeral was attended by President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy and former Presidents Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower, and future President Lyndon B. Johnson.โ History of St. James Episcopal Church
Such a historic place, AJ! The church is gorgeous, and the cemetery is very interesting. What is it about cemeteries that is so fascinating? Mike and I love visiting them.
