Roosevelt Campobello International Park

The Roosevelt Campobello International Park is not a unit of the United States National Park Service or Parks Canada. It is administered by a joint U.S./Canadian Commission, funded equally by the two countries.

The Roosevelt Campobello International Park is a unique example of international cooperation. This 2800 acre park is a joint memorial by Canada and the United States and a symbol of the close relationship between the two countries. Here are the cottage and the grounds where President Roosevelt vacationed, the waters where he sailed, and the woods, bogs, and beaches where he tramped and relaxed. The Roosevelt Campobello International Park was established under an agreement signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson and Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson on January 22, 1964. The Roosevelt Campobello International Park was officially opened on August 20, 1964.

Recommended Activities
The Roosevelt Cottage is the centerpiece of the Park. Guides are stationed throughout the home to answer questions and provide interpretation of the home and artifacts. Visitors can see the room used as an office by President Roosevelt during his 1933 visit, his bedroom, Mrs. Roosevelt's writing room, the living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry, nursery, and family bedrooms, including the room where Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. was born. Visitors tour the home at their own pace. In addition to the Roosevelt Cottage, the Park Commission has acquired and restored four other "cottages" dating from the same period. One of these, the Hubbard Cottage, is also available for public viewing when it is not in use in the Park's conference program. Visitors can also enjoy the Park's extensive gardens, picnic areas and ocean vistas.

There are 8.4 miles of drives located in the Park's 2800 acre natural areas. Eight miles of walking trails branch off of these drives. The trails are designed to offer short hikes, individually, or moderate to long hikes when traveled in combination.
