Things to do in New York, United States: The Best Libraries
New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

I have been on the tour of Springwood many times but not at the holidays. The tour was really interesting of birthplace of FDR and the home of his mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt. The house was supposed to be decorated for the holidays but only a Christmas tree in the library and the dining room set for dinner were the only holiday decorations in the house. The mansion will be going through a full renovation in April and then will be closed for a year so tour it now! The park ranger gave us an informative tour of the family, when the house was built and the additions added on, how the family grew here and the role the house played in the history of the United States especially in World War II. FDR continued to visit here after he became President and used it as his summer White House. Still it was his mother's home and Sara's influences are all over the house. Unlike other mansions, you could tell this was someone's home that was used at all times of the year. You can really see the family influences all over the house as if someone was still living here. It is a great tour and take time to visit the museum and walk through all the exhibits. It really does take two or three days to tour the house.

While we were walking we found something that looked like a miniature castle. As we investigated, we found it was a library. Wow! I didn't even know that this library was quite important. It's the oldest library in continuous use in the original building in the United States. It is designated as a historical landmark. Interestingly enough, the great fire of 1853 that spurred the founder Gerrit Smith to build that library in the classic Roman building. His moto was: Free for all! Anyone was welcome to come and borrow books at this library. I was able to enter it and everything was well organized. There were lots of books and magazines and computers. There are some beautiful paintings as well. There was a large window with a view of the city. Beautiful! It is so attractive as well as historic. It's a must see! Wow!

Commack Public Library (Huntington) is everything you hope your local library will be. It starts with their rebuilt location and their excellent and friendly staff. They've generally been very helpful to our family and we always feel welcome there. We take good advantage (at least pre COVID-19) of their museum pass program.

Just a short walk from Grand Central and Penn Station, the Morgan is a major exhibition venue for fine art, literature, and music, one of New York's great historic sites, and a wonderful place to dine, shop, and attend a concert or film.

We are all very fortunate that J.P. Morgan created such an extensive art and rare book collection is such a fabulous home - and it has been preserved for all of us to enjoy it. The buildings are truly a work of art onto themselves. I recommend taking the free head set as you walk through the premises, wherein you will learn a great deal about the man and all of this art work.

A museum with a wealth of historic and significant exhibits. Definitely worth allocating at least an hour to enjoy this. Staff are helpful too and the library is memorable. There is a shop but not a cafe.
