 | Washington D.C. FDR Memorial Reviews | 21 - 30 of 42 |  |
A 7.5-acre site near the Jefferson Memorial, this memorial depicts the 12 pivotal years of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presidency through a series of four outdoor gallery rooms. The rooms feature ten bronze sculptures depicting President Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt and events from the Great Depression and World War II. The park-like setting includes waterfalls and quiet pools amidst a meandering wall of reddish Dakota granite, where Roosevelt's inspiring words are carved. It is the first memorial in Washington purposely designed to be totally wheelchair accessible. Open daily except Christmas. Free. Park ranger in attendance 8 a.m. - midnight.

Visiting the FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt - the guy from Pearl Habor) Memmorial is not only very informative but a very pleasant place to be in. The whole memmorial is made out of red marble with FDR's quotes lining the pasages. There are 4 individual "rooms" each representing each of his terms in office. The fountains are a great place to chill out on a hot dc summer day. The whole memmorial is made disabled friendly which isint particularly suprising because FDR himself was cripled due to Polio.

This was then followed by WWII which again questioned whether we would be able to continue as a nation. FDR again let this country through those difficult time till the end was almost at hand. Unfortunately he, like Moses, was not going to see the promised land. On April 12, 1945, only a few weeks since being sworn in as the President of The United States for a unprecedented fourth term, the President was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage and died while sitting for a portrait in Warm Springs, Georgia.
The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial is one of the most expansive memorials in the nation. Yet, its shade trees, waterfalls, statuary, and quiet alcoves create the feeling of a secluded garden rather than an imposing structure. The memorial is divided into four outdoor galleries, or rooms, one for each of FDR’s terms in office. The rooms are defined by walls of red South Dakota granite and by ornamental plantings; quotations from FDR are carved into the granite. Water cascades and quiet pools are present throughout. Each room conveys in its own way the spirit of this great man.

 Statue of Roosevelt and dog by mht_in_la
From architectural viewpoint I think I am a little old fashioned and prefer the biggies like Lincoln or Jefferson Memorial. But Roosevelt Memorial is definitely friendly to visitors; you see kids playing around the waterfalls and sitting on the lap of Roosevelt's statue. Leave a Comment
