Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial

The FDR Memorial is my favorite. Not all of the fountains were turned on today, but this memorial--which spans over 7.5 acres--still outshines all the others. There are 10 bronze sculptures of FDR and also one of Eleanor. The memorial honors FDR for leading our country through the Great Depression and World War II. There are four outdoor galleries that cover his 12 years as president. It is a must see--in any weather!
