As part of an afternoon of President’s Day Weekend activities at the FDR Presidential Library on Saturday, February 13, 2010, the Library will screen The President’s Mystery (1936). The story line for The President’s Mystery was suggested by FDR, an avid fan of mystery stories. Six famous authors worked on his idea to produce this story, which was later adapted for the screen in 1936. The film will begin at 1:00 p.m. in the Henry A. Wallace Center auditorium. Following the film, visitors can view original documents from the Roosevelt Library archives bearing the signatures of many of our nation's President's including: Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy. Twenty-eight signatures will be on display -- most of which were collected by Franklin Roosevelt himself. There will also be a video presentation and family-friendly activities relating to presidential history.
Free public event. For information call (845) 486-7745.
