Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt's Val-Kill

Eleanor Roosevelt chose Val-Kill for her retreat, her office, her home, and her “laboratory” for social change from 1924 until her death in 1962. During that time she formulated and carried out her social and political beliefs.

Working with the National Park Service, Paris Design developed the interpretive exhibits and graphics for three distinct exhibit areas on the property. E.R.’s timeless message of democratic thought and social action are positioned to connect with modern visitors who have little direct memory of her.
