Eleanor Roosevelt was in fact known as one of the most active first ladies ever after
her service, and in service! But I find her “after-presidency” much more interesting. Eleanor
built an estate with her friends using the acres the Franklin had given to her. She had named
the estate Val-Kill. This took place in 1925 where she had also built a cottage along with the
estate for her friends and other guests. Val-Kill soon became very popular and she had
entertained many, many guests, including people from India, The Soviet Union, and Ethiopia.
(Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site) did you know that Eleanor Roosevelt was the first
presidential wife to hold a press conference? And did you know that she was the longest
serving first lady? (Wikipedia) Yes, she served from 1933-1945. (infoplease.com) that was
what Eleanor Roosevelt’s “after-presidency” was like.

away to London to go to an academy by the name of Allenwood Academy. She had spent a while there
until she finished school and moved back to America. When she had moved back to America, she had
married a man named Franklin D. Roosevelt. He became president which meant Eleanor Roosevelt
would become the first lady. (Wikipedia) that is what Eleanor Roosevelt “before-presidency” was like.
