I've generally found the presidential sites to be interesting, and this was no exception. I had not realized that Van Buren had actually been instrumental in the founding of two U.S. Political parties - the Democrats and the Free Soil Party - and as a result is on the short list of former presidents to run with a different party later.
This is a small site, but a nice one - though, more so than most, you really need to take the tour. The full content of the visitor center is a short movie and a small bookstore.
