Roosevelt Campobello International Park

Recorded September 24, 2016
Roosevelt Campobello International Park preserves the house and surrounding landscape of the family summer retreat of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his family, located on the southern tip of Campobello Island in the Canadian province of New Brunswick in Fundy Bay. It is connected to the mainland by the Roosevelt Memorial Bridge, at Lubec, Maine in the United States. Here in August 1921, 39-year-old Roosevelt, who would go on to become the 32nd President of the United States, fell ill and was diagnosed with polio. FDR was no longer able to stay at the "beloved island", but he sailed there in 1933 and visited briefly in 1936 and 1939. Eleanor Roosevelt loved the cool summer weather and visited many times with her children and friends. After her death in 1962, the family deeded the property to the governments of the U.S. and Canada; in 1964, they created the 2,800-acre International Park. The cottage, built in the Shingle Style and completed in 1897, was designed by Willard T. Sears.

Thanks for this video ! I've been to Lubec, Maine and visited the West Quoddy Lighthouse but didn't have a passport to cross over into Canada to see Campbello Island . Going to get a passport card this year so I can do that but in the meantime I enjoyed this video very much !

What u mean

[@aheat3036]

This should be in the U.S. as a part of the state of Maine. Why didn’t the U.S. buy it from the U.K.?

[@DavGreg]

Since this is an international park, who runs it?

[@davidw4781]

That's what I was asking, is it part of Canada or part of U.S.?
