Poughkeepsie is the largest city in the Hudson Valley and a good place to
delve into the history of the region. Many visitors come to visit
Springwood, the home of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the FDR Presidential
Library and Museum.
The many historical places near Poughkeepsie include Locust Grove,
which is the estate and home of Samuel Morse, and the Bardavon Opera
House. The opera house still hosts performances in this interesting, 1869
building. The city has many green spaces as well as the popular Walkway
over the Hudson, which is the longest footbridge in the world and crosses
the Hudson River from Poughkeepsie to the town of Highland on the
other bank.
