Are there any good museums in Hyde Park?

Absolutely. For starters, you have the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library & Museum. There are exhibits on his presidency and you can actually see his desk with its top contents still untouched, as it was on his last day in office. There are two wings devoted to his wife. There is also the "New Deal Museum Store." You can also tour FDR's "Top Cottage' weekend escape retreat and Mrs. Roosevelt's Val-Kill cottage estate. And finally, there is the gorgeous Vanderbilt Mansion Historical Site which is a testament to high country living. You can tour the house and the lovely gardens.
