Val-Kill, Royals, Tara Turf

FDR & Eleanor hosted the King/Queen of England at their home.  Appearances mattered greatly in this era.
.
A dip in Val-Kill's pool, above, was included amongst the entertainments.
.
Tara Turf touches the coping, trailing to a dirt path & wild wood.
.
Contemporaneously with pioneering Tara Turf it was intuitive, Tara Turf is a status symbol.

Put, This I Remember, by Eleanor Roosevelt on your list if you haven't read it yet.  Cote de Texas has more about the royal's visit with Roosevelt's, here.
.
Amazing path, Tara Turf as status symbol.  A meadow or pasture, life itself, are merely empty spaces to be taken at whim for financial gain in popular culture.  Truly heart rending.
