Franklin D. Roosevelt, Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada

In 1883, the Roosevelt clan first visited tiny Campobello Island, a Canadian fishing community sprinkled with luxury enclaves and estates. The Roosevelts eventually acquired a 34-room "cottage," (pictured above) where FDR hunkered down until polio and the demands of the presidency limited his visits. Modern-day visitors can bird-watch and kayak within the 2,800-acre Roosevelt Campobello International Park—the only park partnership between U.S. and Canada. On the island you'll find the Roosevelt cottage, a lighthouse and lush walking trails. Camping is permitted at the adjacent Herring Cove Provincial Park.
