This ride's destination is history.

The timing is perfect. The Roosevelts are a great study of our presidential history. See their story first hand. Now take a ride to Eleanor and Franklin's home, Presidential Library and Eleanor's cottage. Then there's the grandeur of a Vanderbilt Mansion with every convenience the technology of the times could buy. They built Grand Central Terminal and a rail line we all still use today, Metro-North Railroad, and what Amtrack uses all the way to Chicago and more. See a Trump comparison? There are admission fees but, we may be able to lessen them as we have in the past. We'll take the 7:43 from GCT or the 7:54 at 125th St. to Poughkeepsie. Round trip tickets are $34.00 regular & $22.50 Seniors bought either at the station or on line.
