The monument to Franklin Delenore Roosevelt feels different from most other presidential monuments. It didn’t feel like it was designed to glorify a person. It didn’t feel like it needed to. The monument is organized in separate outdoor ‘rooms’, each with a quote and a statue or some other feature. FDR was president during tumultuous times. His words etched in stone provided important ideas, and the statuary filled in the feelings.
The memorial is a pleasant place to visit. The outdoor rooms remove distractions, and the interiors told the stories. It’s well worth a visit!
