Roosevelt Campobello International Park ME

Roosevelt Cottage

For many years, Franklin D. Roosevelt summered on Campobello Island. As an adult, he shared with his family the same active pursuits he enjoyed on the island as child. Although he visited less frequently after contracting polio, Campobello remained important to FDR. Today Roosevelt Campobello International Park serves as a memorial to FDR and a symbol of cooperation between the U.S. and Canada.

Although Roosevelt Campobello International Park is located on Canada's Campobello Island, the park is owned, funded, staffed, and administered by both Canada and the United States. 

Visitor Center
The visitor center offers exhibits about FDR and the video "Outer Island/Beloved Island," produced by the Roosevelt Campobello International Commission. A small bookstore features a limited selection of memorabilia.

Roosevelt Cottage
Guides are stationed throughout the Roosevelt Cottage to answer questions and provide interpretation of the home and artifacts as you tour the house at your own speed.

The following rooms are on display:
•President Roosevelt's office from his 1933 visit and his bedroom
•Mrs. Roosevelt's writing room
•Living room, dining room, and kitchen
•Laundry
•Nursery and family bedrooms

Four additional "cottages" dating from the same period are also part of the park. Of these, the Hubbard Cottage is available for public viewing when it is not in use in the park's conference program. You can also explore the extensive gardens, picnic areas, and ocean views.

Other Activities
There are 8.4 miles of driving roads located in the park's 2,800 acres, and eight miles of walking trails. You can wander the trails individually for a short hike or combine them for longer hikes. Visit bogs, forests, shoreline, beaches, and more.
