Val-Kill Visit
To commemorate Eleanor Roosevelt’s debut on my next batch of trading cards, my friend Randy and I visited her home, Val-Kill Cottage, and Val-Kill Industries.
This misspelled nameplate was a gift from some young children. She kept it on her desk in case they ever visited again. Also, she was thrifty.
These chairs threw me a bit. They seemed so … incongruous. Not right for the time period. Like, the chairs are more modern than Eleanor… but that’s not true.
