Roosevelt Campobello InterNational Park :-
The Roosevelt Campobello International Park is a unique example
of international cooperation. This 2800 acre park is a joint memorial by
Canada and the United States and a symbol of the close relationship between
the two countries. Here are the cottage and the grounds where President
Roosevelt vacationed, the waters where he sailed, and the woods, bogs, and
beaches where he tramped and relaxed. The Roosevelt Campobello International
Park was established under an agreement signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson
and Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson on January 22, 1964. The Roosevelt
Campobello International Park was officially opened on August 20, 1964.
