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. |
