Take a virtual walking tour of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, a seven-acre landscape of stone, water, and sculpture along the Tidal Basin. Four outdoor “rooms” trace FDR’s presidency, with waterfalls that shift from steady to chaotic to still, symbolizing the nation’s path from the Great Depression through World War II to his death in 1945. Quotes carved in granite and powerful imagery bring to life the words and struggles of America’s only four-term president.
