A natural tribute |
George Washington Memorial Parkway Turkey Run Park Washington DC, VA 22101 +1 703 285 2601 / +1 703 289 2500 http://www.nps.gov/this/ |
This Potomac River island is an apt memorial to the conservation-minded Teddy Roosevelt, the nation's 26th president. The 88-acre wildlife refuge can be explored along winding footpaths. In a clearing at the island's center stands a 22-foot bronze statue of Roosevelt, accompanied by inscriptions of his eloquent thoughts on nature and conservation. Access the island from Virginia via George Washington Memorial Parkway. A pedestrian bridge connects the island to a parking lot on the Virginia shoreline. Review © 2009, Wcities |
