Roosevelt Cottage
Franklin D. Roosevelt spent many enjoyable vacations at his summer home on Campobello Island, in New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy.
His magnificent thirty four room mansion is today the centerpiece of Roosevelt-Campobello International Park, preserved as a memorial and as a symbol of the close friendship between Canada and the United States.
Owned, funded, staffed, and administered by the peoples of both Canada and the United States, Roosevelt Campobello International Park is enjoyed by tens of thousands of visitors each year.
Visitors are welcomed to the Park in the Edmund S. Muskie Visitor Center, where panels, displays, and a short video interpret the Roosevelt story from the time Franklin Roosevelt and his parents first visited Campobello through his battle with polio, his presidency, and the establishment of the Park.
Guides respond to informational requests and sell a limited number of souvenirs.
A short walk past spectacular flower gardens leads visitors to FDR and Eleanor’s summer home.
Both outside and inside, guides provide interpretation and answer questions about the cottage, its furnishings, and the Roosevelt family.
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 Commission’s conference program.
Wooded paths and fields offer vistas of nearby islands, bays and shorelines.
The Roosevelt Campobello International Park is a combination indoor/outdoor site that is renowned internationally and contributes to the popularity of the Province of New Brunswick as a tourism destination.
Plan to spend an hour touring the Visitor Centre, Roosevelt Cottage, and flower gardens.
Spend several hours in the Park’s 1,134-hectare (2,800-acre) Natural Area where you can explore walking trails, beaches, bogs, forest, and spectacular ocean headlands - or enjoy a picnic with an ocean or a lighthouse view.

The Letter
Songs of The Fundy Isles by Gary Cook
Gary's CD "The Letter" was released May 31st, 2003.
The folk style songs with acoustic accompaniment were inspired by life in this Bay of Fundy fishing community, yet reflect universal themes.
It is a remarkable musical achievement by any standards.
Gary Cook is a fisherman from Campobello Island, NB who has been playing music for nearly four decades.
Gary's repertoire reflects his eclectic musical interests including folk, rock, country and bluegrass.
About three years ago he turned his hand to song writing as a means of expressing his anger and outrage regarding the current state of the east coast fishing industry, which he believes to be a result of government policy that are both blatantly unfair and very environmentally unsound.
His appealing vocal delivery and his mastery of both finger picking and flat picking guitar styles have made him a favourite at informal jam sessions, and it is now time for this talented performer to bring his music and messages to a larger audience.
