Join The Overlook & Best of Times Travel on this wonderful patriotic program.  Experience the home that molds then men and women that protect our nation - West Point Military Academy.  Then we enjoy two additional historical sights - Home & Museum of the United States  longest- serving President (FDR) and the Vanderbilt Mansion both located in Hyde Park, NY   

Here's a rundown of this wonderful program:

Day One: After an early morning departure we arrive at West Point Military Academy. Since its founding two centuries ago, it has accomplished its mission by developing cadets through extensive moral and ethical development. We begin with our professionally conducted, fully guided tour of the Academy. This is a riding tour aboard our coach with several stops included: Old Cadet Chapel rich in history, The Plain (where George Washington drilled the American forces – now the parade ground for the Academy) and Trophy Point (site of relics of wars dating back to the Revolution). This is the best way to experience this historic United States Military Academy.  After our guided tour we will arrive back at the welcome center for a self-guided tour of the Museum. Here we’ll view the oldest and largest diversified public collection of militaria in the Western Hemisphere.  Highlights also include some special collections of General Douglas MacArthur, George Patton and President Dwight Eisenhower (all graduates of West Point).  Enjoy lunch on your own this afternoon at your choice of the many restaurants within steps of the museum and welcome center.  This evening enjoy our comfortabel area accommodations for the night.  Following some time to freshen up enjoy our INCLUDED evening dinner.

Day Two: This morning enjoy our included breakfast at the hotel.  Then we board our coach heading to Hyde Park, New York where we will enjoy a visit and tour of  President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Home.  Home to the 32nd and longest-serving president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt returned to Hyde Park often, drawing on this place to renew his spirit during times of personal and political crisis. Explore the Roosevelt saga in the homes of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, the exhibits at the nation’s first Presidential Library, and over a thousand acres of gardens and trails.  Our final stop for the day is The Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site.  The estate illustrates a way of life modeled on the English country house and is unusual today because so few examples survive in the 21st century. More than a place to discuss the lifestyles of the rich and famous, the park offers a window into the philosophy of the American country house, the lives of its domestic staff, and its relationship to the surrounding community.  We depart late afternoon with supper on our own en-route home.
