Description

Franklin D. Roosevelt and his family treasured their summers spent on their "beloved Campobello Island" in the early years of the 20th century. Visitors today experience the same rustic beauty: their magnificent 34-room "cottage" and 2800-acre nature preserve.

A great day trip! "The # 1 site to see east of Bar Harbor" 'An Explorer's Guide to Maine'.
