Details

Although the entire island was designed as a living memorial by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., and replanted by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, the memorial plaza is its centerpiece and occupies the highest point on the island.

Completed in 1967, the memorial plaza depicts Theodore Roosevelt in a speaking pose, surrounded by his own quotes on a variety of virtues he espoused.
