Which is the more popular Hyde Park tourist attraction: Roosevelt or Vanderbilt?

Yeah, they're both popular, though in my opinion Roosevelt is the more popular of the two. Sure Vanderbilt is beautiful, and as both are pretty darn impressive historical landmarks it's hard to argue with someone who says one or the other, but to me Roosevelt is a bit more impressive.

I think most people try to hit both. Springwood may be a bit more popular, since it's the home of a U.S. President, but the Vanderbilt estate embodies the way of life lived by wealthy industrialists back then, and so is fascinating in a different way.
