Every year, 3 million people visit the FDR Memorial, which was dedicated in 1997, to pay tribute to our longest-serving president. FDR led a battered country out of the Great Depression and rallied a reluctant nation during World War II. These accomplishments, among others, are dramatically highlighted at his Memorial.
In 2019, the FDR Memorial Legacy Committee (FDR Committee) was established as a 501c3 non profit organization with the mission to promote education about the FDR Memorial, improve inclusion and accessibility so all visitors can experience the Memorial, and preserve the Memorial for future generations.
