Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial

Fala and FDR - Washington D.C.

The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, located along the western edge of the National Mall Tidal Basin, honors the nation’s 32nd president.

Twenty-one of Roosevelt’s famous quotes are inscribed throughout red South Dakota granite that create four open-air rooms - one for each of FDR’s terms as Commander in Chief. Ten bronze statues depicting images from the Depression and WWII, along with the intentional use of waterfalls and pools, give insight to America's longest-serving president.
